A Level 1 inspection is a routine visual check of readily accessible interior and exterior flue areas during regular cleaning, whereas a Level 2 inspection involves specialized camera technology to thoroughly examine hidden internal surfaces often required during real estate transactions in Malden.
Seasonal moisture management is vital in Malden because trapped water mixes with soot to form corrosive acids that rapidly deteriorate mortar joints and flue tiles. Applying breathable waterproofing sealants and installing tight-fitting caps stops this destructive freeze-thaw cycle effectively.
