A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any type of special devices. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a camera or other device to check the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property.
