A standard inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any type of special devices. A service technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra extensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home.
