A standard assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any kind of special devices. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection done during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just carried out in extreme situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed annually and maintained as needed.
