A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special tools. A specialist will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection executed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type 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 lot of adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just done in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out yearly and maintained as required.
