A basic inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any kind of special devices. A service technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection carried out during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 have actually made a lot of modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive assessment is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just done in extreme circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as required.
