A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without making use of any kind of special devices. A professional will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to make certain there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to check the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment performed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive assessment is additionally advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only carried out in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety of the chimney.
