A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any kind of special tools. A technician will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection done during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's additionally suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 have actually made a lot of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more thorough assessment is additionally recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only performed in serious situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out yearly and maintained as required.
