A fundamental assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any special tools. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation executed during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of 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 adjustments in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive evaluation is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only performed in severe situations when it is absolutely needed in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as required.
