A basic assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without making use of any kind of special tools. A specialist will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will likewise check to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more thorough evaluation is also advised.
