A fundamental evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any kind of special devices. A technician will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other device to check the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment done during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.

If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more thorough examination is additionally recommended.
