A basic assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special tools. A specialist will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to inspect the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any event which might 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 adjustments in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive assessment is likewise suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only done in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as required.
