A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any type of special devices. A service technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to check the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a 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 modifications in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only performed in severe circumstances when it is absolutely 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 carried out annually and maintained as required.
