A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without making use of any type of special tools. A specialist will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have impacted 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 comprehensive assessment is likewise suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments performed 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 kind of inspection is only performed in serious circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as required.
