A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without making use of any type of special tools.

They will additionally examine to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure.
