A basic evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without making use of any type of special devices. A specialist will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to ensure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of adjustments in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in serious situations when it is definitely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done annually and maintained as required.
