A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any kind of special devices. A technician will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a light to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to check the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also suggested 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 adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only done in severe circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed once a year and maintained as required.
