A fundamental assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special devices. A specialist will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make certain there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to check the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
