A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any kind of special devices. A technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to check the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
