A fundamental inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without making use of any kind of special tools. A service technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive evaluation is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.
