A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any special tools. A professional will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a video camera or other device to check the whole flue and internal 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 type of evaluation executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type 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 changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more thorough examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only carried out in extreme circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out once a year and maintained as required.
