A standard evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without making use of any type of special tools. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
