A standard assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special devices. A professional will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make certain there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection executed during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of changes in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive examination is additionally recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations done 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 just done in serious situations when it is definitely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as required.
