A Level I inspection is the recommended routine evaluation of the chimney system for continued service. A Level I inspection is limited to readily accessible portions of the venting system, and accessible portions of the connected appliance(s) and the chimney connection. The inspector will check the readily accessible portions of the chimney, its enclosing structure, and the flue. This is a top-to-bottom inspection for safety which will call out any repairs that need to be made to keep your fireplace safe to burn.
