A standard assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without the use of any type of special devices. A professional will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to check the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment carried out during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property.
