A standard evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any special tools. A specialist will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
