A fundamental evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any kind of special devices. A specialist will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make certain there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.

If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a lot of adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth assessment is also suggested.
