A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special tools. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will additionally inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property.
