A basic inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special devices. A professional will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any issues in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is extra extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation carried out during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more thorough assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet 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 extreme situations when it is absolutely needed in order to confirm the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as needed.
