A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special devices. A professional will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection executed during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more extensive evaluation is likewise suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only done in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done annually and maintained as needed.
