Hero
Colleyville real estate transactions almost always include a Level 2 chimney inspection in the buyer’s contract — and increasingly, the listing agent is calling for one ahead of going active. A typical Colleyville home is twenty-plus years old, traditional or French Country, with a brick-or-stone chimney that has not been camera-inspected since the original mason finished it. Prime Chimney Experts performs Level 2 inspections to the full NFPA 211 standard: video documentation of every flue, line-item findings with severity ratings, written PDF report formatted for a transaction file. Every recommended repair carries our lifetime workmanship warranty. Call **682-226-6257** to schedule.Trust Bar

NFPA 211 — the National Fire Protection Association code that governs chimneys, fireplaces, and venting systems — calls for a Level 2 inspection">Level 2 inspection at three specific events: at sale of the property, after any chimney fire, and after any change in the venting system. Colleyville transactions reliably trigger the first; the other two come up often enough that any active homeowner in 76034 should know what a Level 2 actually delivers. Colleyville’s housing inventory is concentrated in the 1995-to-2008 build window, which puts the typical chimney at twenty-plus years of clay-tile service. The traditional and French Country elevations dominant in Whittier Heights, Caldwell Estates, and the Glade Road communities pair brick-and-stone facades with substantial chimney features that read as architectural elements — multiple flues are common, two-story stacks are routine, and the upper masonry has accumulated two decades of weather exposure that nobody has actually inspected at close range. A Level 2 inspection is the right inspection at the moment of sale because it produces the documentation that a Realtor, a buyer’s inspector, and a property underwriter all expect — full video of every flue, severity-rated findings, written repair scope. Listing agents in Colleyville call us six to eight weeks ahead of going active so any findings can be corrected and warranted in writing before the buyer’s inspector arrives.Our Colleyville Level 2 Approach
Every Level 2 inspection in Colleyville follows the NFPA 211 standard. The technician performing the inspection is CSIA-certified; the masonry foreman reviewing structural findings carries F.I.R.E. credentials. On-site time is 90 minutes to two-and-a-half hours depending on flue count and access. The standard scope: visual inspection of all accessible exterior portions of the chimney — roof-level cap, crown, flashing, upper masonry; visual inspection of all accessible interior portions — firebox, smoke chamber, damper; and **full video camera documentation of every flue from termination to appliance connection**, captured on a dedicated Chim-Scan inspection camera with high-resolution recording. Every defect is photographed at insurance-claim resolution and time-stamped to the video segment that captured it. Findings are categorized by severity: **structural / safety-critical**, **deferred maintenance**, and **observational**. The deliverable is a written PDF report — typically 10 to 16 pages on a Colleyville home — with line-item findings, severity ratings, photographs, video clip references, and a written repair scope with itemized pricing. The report is formatted to drop directly into a real estate transaction file.Pricing for Colleyville

Written PDF report delivered within 48 hours of site visit.

**Is a Level 2 inspection required at sale in Colleyville?** NFPA 211 specifies Level 2 at sale; the City of Colleyville does not enforce NFPA 211 at the residential transaction level, but virtually every Realtor and underwriter in 76034 expects a Level 2 in the buyer’s inspection scope, and most listing agents now require it ahead of going active. **What does a Level 2 inspection actually catch that a Level 1 misses?** A Level 1 is visual only — exterior, interior, no camera. A Level 2 adds full video camera documentation of every flue from cap to firebox. Most clay-tile cracking and chimney-fire damage is invisible without the camera, and is exactly what a buyer’s inspector will look for. **Will the report identify everything a buyer’s inspector will find?** Yes. Our Level 2 follows the same NFPA 211 standard the buyer’s inspector follows. A pre-listing inspection delivers the same information to the seller — and the chance to correct findings before they become a price negotiation. **Do you provide the report in a format the listing agent can use?** Yes. Written PDF report, 10 to 16 pages, with photographs, video clip references, severity-rated findings, and itemized repair recommendations. Formatted to drop into a transaction file. **Can the inspection be done while the home is occupied or staged?** Yes. Drop cloths protect adjacent finishes; total on-site time is 90 minutes to two-and-a-half hours. No demolition or invasive work.Customer Review — Glade Road, Colleyville
“Our agent recommended a pre-listing Level 2 with PCE. They scheduled within three days, ran a thorough inspection on both flues, delivered a 12-page PDF the next morning, and identified a hairline crown crack that would have shown up on the buyer’s inspection. Their repair scope was completed and warranted in writing two weeks before the home went active. Buyer’s inspector reviewed our PCE report and the chimney came off the negotiation entirely.” — *T.
