A Level 2 inspection">Level 2 inspection is what NFPA 211 specifies before a Keller home transacts, and what every Keller Realtor expects to see in the buyer’s inspection scope. The typical Keller home is twelve to twenty-five years old — old enough that the original-builder masonry has surfaced predictable failure modes, young enough that most homeowners have never had the chimney camera-inspected. Prime Chimney Experts performs Level 2 inspections to the full NFPA 211 standard: full video documentation of every flue, severity-rated findings, written PDF report formatted for the transaction file. CSIA-certified master technicians, F.I.R.E.-credentialed masonry foremen. Every recommended repair carries our lifetime workmanship warranty. Call **682-226-6257**.Trust Bar

The Keller housing inventory is concentrated in the 1998-to-2014 build window — large enough to put hundreds of chimneys into the predictable failure window every year. Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, the Bluffs at Heritage, Saddlebrook Estates, the established communities along Bear Creek Parkway and Rufe Snow Drive all share a similar architectural vocabulary and a similar production-builder finish quality. The chimneys are now reaching the age where clay-tile damage, crown failure, mortar deterioration, and flashing leaks become statistically likely. NFPA 211 calls for Level 2 inspection at three events: at sale of the property, after any chimney fire, and after any change in the venting system. Keller transactions reliably trigger the first; the others come up often enough that any active homeowner in 76244, 76248, or 76262 should know what a Level 2 actually delivers and when to schedule one. The right inspection at the moment of sale is one that produces documentation a Realtor, a buyer’s inspector, and a property underwriter can all use — full video of every flue, severity-rated findings, written repair scope. Listing agents in Keller routinely call us four to eight weeks ahead of going active so any findings can be corrected and warranted in writing before the buyer’s inspector arrives.Our Keller Level 2 Approach
Every Level 2 in Keller follows the NFPA 211 standard. The technician 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. Standard scope: visual exterior inspection of all accessible portions — roof-level cap, crown, flashing, upper masonry; visual interior inspection — firebox, smoke chamber, damper; and **full video camera documentation of every flue from termination to appliance connection** on a dedicated Chim-Scan 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, observational. The deliverable is a written PDF report — typically 10 to 16 pages on a Keller home — with photographs, video clip references, severity-rated findings, and a written repair scope with itemized pricing. Formatted for the real estate transaction file.Pricing for Keller
A single-flue Level 2 inspection in Keller runs $365. A two-flue inspection runs $495. A three-flue inspection runs $625.

**Is a Level 2 inspection required at sale in Keller?** NFPA 211 specifies Level 2 at sale; the City of Keller does not enforce NFPA 211 at the residential transaction level, but virtually every Realtor and underwriter in the Keller ZIPs 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 catch that a Level 1 misses?** Level 1 is visual only. 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 the 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. Pre-listing inspection delivers the same information to the seller in advance. **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 in a Level 2.Customer Review — Saddlebrook Estates, Keller
“Pre-listing Level 2 on our two-flue Saddlebrook chimney. PCE was on time, ran a thorough inspection, delivered a 13-page PDF the next morning, and identified mortar deterioration on the upper twelve courses we had no idea was there. The repair scope was completed and warranted in writing three weeks before we went active. The buyer’s inspector reviewed the PCE report and the chimney came off the negotiation entirely.” — *L.
