They will additionally inspect to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
