Video Scope

Camera inspection of the inside of the flue.

What is Video Scope?

A high-resolution camera on a flexible cable that we feed down the flue to document cracks, gaps, creosote buildup, animal nests, and displaced tile. This is the tool a Level 2 NFPA inspection requires, and it is the standard evidence expected before any insurance claim, so the finding rests on footage rather than a flashlight guess.
