A fundamental evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any type of special tools. A technician will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
