A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any special tools. A specialist 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 see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is extra in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment executed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 great deal of modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more in-depth evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only carried out in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed yearly and maintained as needed.
