A basic evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any kind of special tools. A professional will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection carried out during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may have impacted 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 fireplace, then the more thorough assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out 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.
