A standard evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any special tools. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will additionally examine to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a property.
