A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without making use of any special tools. A professional will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will additionally inspect to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation executed during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type 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 adjustments in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just performed in serious situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as needed.
