A standard assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any special tools. A technician will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the entire flue as well as internal 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 assessment carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property.
