A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any kind of special tools. A specialist will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment performed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more comprehensive assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just done in serious circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as needed.
