A fundamental assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special tools. A technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to make certain there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
