A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any kind of special devices. A service technician will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the whole flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection done during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's additionally suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may have affected the structure of the chimney.
