A standard assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any kind of special devices. A service technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a home.
