A basic inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without making use of any kind of special devices. A specialist will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also check to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to inspect the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
