A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special devices. A service technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to examine the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment executed during a property transaction 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 use your fire place, then the more thorough examination is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just performed in serious situations when it is definitely needed in order to validate the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed once a year and maintained as required.
