A basic inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any special devices. A service technician will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is extra extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the whole flue and internal 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 evaluation executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of changes in the way you use your fire place, then the more comprehensive examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just carried out in serious situations when it is definitely necessary in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as needed.
