A fundamental assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination 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 light to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.
