A basic assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special devices. A service technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection executed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a home.
