A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any special tools. A technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any issues in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a camera or other tool to check the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection performed during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. 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 have actually made a lot of modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only done in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed annually and maintained as required.
