A standard inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any type of special tools. A service technician will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property.

If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more in-depth assessment is likewise advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.
