A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special tools. A professional will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not 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 carried out with a basic evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
