A specialist will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
