A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any special devices. A specialist will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to check the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 modifications in the way you use your fire place, 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 portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just carried out in extreme situations when it is definitely necessary in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out yearly and maintained as required.
