A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special devices. A service technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also check to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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 adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive evaluation is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just performed in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed once a year and maintained as needed.
