A fundamental evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without making use of any special devices. A technician will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to inspect the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment performed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended 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 changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more in-depth evaluation is additionally recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only performed in serious circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as needed.
