A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special tools. A service technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to ensure 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 routine use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation carried out during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a home.
