A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any special tools. A technician will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation carried out during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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've made a great deal of changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more in-depth examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed 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 type of inspection is just done in extreme situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as needed.
