A basic evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any special devices. A technician 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 likewise inspect to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
