A basic inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any special tools. A service technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection done during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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've made a great deal of adjustments in the way you use your fireplace, then the more extensive examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just carried out in extreme situations when it is definitely needed in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out once a year and maintained as needed.
