A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special devices. A service technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also check to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
