A basic inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any kind of special tools. A specialist will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a light to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to check the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
