A basic evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special tools. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any issues in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection carried out during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's likewise advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any event which may have affected 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 thorough 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 such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just performed in serious situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as required.
