A standard assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any special tools. A specialist will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation executed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property.
