A standard evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any special devices. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will additionally examine to make sure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
