A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any special devices. A specialist will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
