A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any kind of special tools. A service technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment executed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended 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 have actually made a lot of changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more extensive assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in serious circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done annually and maintained as needed.
