A standard evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any special tools. A service technician will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
