A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special tools. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also check to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing 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 suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a video camera or other device to examine the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.
