A standard assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any special tools. A professional will inspect all the basic 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 nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property.
