A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without making use of any kind of special devices. A professional will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
