A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any type of special devices. A professional will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.
