A fundamental assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any kind of special tools. A specialist will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to examine the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
