A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special devices. A specialist will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection executed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's likewise recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which might have impacted 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 fire place, then the more thorough evaluation is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out 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. This kind of inspection is only done in serious circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as required.
