A fundamental evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any kind of special tools. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any 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 adjustments in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more comprehensive examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just performed in extreme situations when it is definitely necessary in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out once a year and maintained as needed.
