A fundamental inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special devices. A service technician will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection performed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also suggested 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've made a lot of modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more thorough assessment is likewise suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.
