A fundamental evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special tools. A service technician will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is extra detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment carried out during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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 have actually made a great deal of adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive examination is also advised.
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 like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only performed in serious situations when it is definitely needed in order to verify the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed annually and maintained as required.
