A basic inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any kind of special devices. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to check the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.
