A basic evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any special devices. A service technician will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will additionally examine to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might 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 utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations performed 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 only done in serious circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed yearly and maintained as required.
