A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any special tools. A specialist will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will likewise examine to make sure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will include everything that is executed with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation performed during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also suggested 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 fire place, then the more comprehensive examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just done in severe circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed yearly and maintained as required.
