A fundamental evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any special tools. A specialist will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will additionally inspect to ensure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to examine the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of adjustments in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more comprehensive evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.

The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed once a year and maintained as needed.
