A fundamental evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special tools. A specialist will inspect 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 check to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
