A fundamental evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any special devices. 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 degeneration. They will also examine to make sure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment performed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a property.
