A standard evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any type of special devices. A specialist will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to check the entire flue as well as inner 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 carried out during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a home.
