A fundamental assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any special tools. A professional will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the entire flue and inner chimney structure.
