A fundamental evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any type of special devices. A service technician will examine all the basic 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 make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment carried out during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a home.
