A fundamental inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any type of special tools. A service technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to check the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more comprehensive examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just done in serious circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as required.
