A standard inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any special devices. A specialist will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to check the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.
