They will also check to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more in depth. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the whole flue and also inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment done during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a property.
