Olde Boston Chimney Inspection : Boston, MA home inspector

Situation and Inspection Levels - Until Recently , the scope of work performed in the inspection or evaluation of a fireplace , stove or other venting system was generally up to the discrection of the chimney service technician . Professional service technicians now have an industry standard that removes much of that discretion . The National Fire Protection Association ( NFPA) has addressed the minimum chimney inspection standards in its latest publication ( NFPA 211) concerning home heating appliances. Inspections are now classified as Level 1 , Level2 , or Level 3.
