A fundamental assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any kind of special tools. A specialist will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make certain there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended 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've made a great deal of changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more in-depth assessment is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only performed in severe circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to confirm the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed annually and maintained as needed.
