A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special tools. A professional will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
