A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without the use of any type of special devices. A service technician will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will additionally check to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is executed with a standard inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation performed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a home.
