A basic assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any type of special tools. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection done during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any 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 comprehensive assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only carried out in serious situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed yearly and maintained as required.
