A standard inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any special tools. A professional will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.
