A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special devices. A technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it 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 leaves. If you have never had any concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation executed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property.
