A basic inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any kind of special devices. A service technician will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to check the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also advised 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 lot of modifications in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more comprehensive evaluation is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just done in serious circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as required.
