A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any kind of special devices. A professional will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is completed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may have impacted the structure of the chimney.
