Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Nashville, TN
A more thorough inspection required whenever something has changed — a home sale, a chimney fire, storm damage, or a new appliance.
What This Service Covers
A Level 2 inspection includes everything in a Level 1, plus accessible areas of the attic, crawl spaces, and basement, along with a video scan of the flue interior. It’s the level required by insurance companies and most real estate transactions, and it’s mandatory after any event that could have damaged the chimney — a chimney fire, an earthquake, a lightning strike, or severe weather.
It’s also required whenever you change the appliance connected to the chimney, switch fuel types (say, wood to gas), or relist a Nashville-area home for sale. Buyers’ agents and lenders frequently ask for this exact report before closing.

Common Questions About Level 2 Chimney Inspection
Most Nashville-area purchase agreements and lenders require a Level 2 inspection report before closing on a home with a fireplace.
Almost always — insurers typically won’t approve chimney repairs after a fire without a documented Level 2 inspection first.
Plan on 60–90 minutes, longer if the video scan reveals something that needs a closer look.
