A fundamental assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any type of special devices. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment performed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.
