A fundamental evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special devices. A professional will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to inspect the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation performed during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property.
