A fundamental evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special devices. A service technician will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will additionally inspect to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to check the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection carried out during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a property. It's additionally advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a lot of modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more extensive examination is likewise recommended.
