A basic assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any kind of special devices. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to inspect the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
