The most thorough Level III inspection investigates hidden sections when significant hazards are suspected.
During your assessment, we record the integrity of the liner, crown and cap status, and clearances to combustibles and proper termination and draft levels. We conduct ventilation testing to ensure proper exhaust and sufficient makeup air. Our inspection includes the condition of the damper, firebox, and smoke chamber, connection points, gas log installation safety, and carbon monoxide routes. You'll obtain a detailed report with photos and suggested improvements to optimize system efficiency and resolve safety issues.
