A basic assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without the use of any special devices. A professional will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of changes in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive assessment is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.
