A standard inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any kind of special tools. A specialist will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make certain there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
