A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without the use of any special devices. A specialist will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will additionally check to make sure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any 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 extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection performed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property.
