A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any special tools. A professional will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to make sure 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 fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's likewise recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type 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 lot of adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only done in severe circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed annually and maintained as required.
