A basic inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any special tools. A professional will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is extra in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection executed during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more extensive evaluation is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just done in serious situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed once a year and maintained as needed.
