A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any kind of special devices. A technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a light to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may 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 modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive evaluation is additionally suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only performed in serious circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed annually and maintained as required.
