A basic inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any special tools. A technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation done during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a home.
