A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any kind of special tools. A specialist will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check 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 regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment carried out during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a home.
