A fundamental assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without the use of any type of special devices. A technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation carried out during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any 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 changes in the way you use your fire place, then the more thorough examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only performed in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed once a year and maintained as needed.
