A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any special devices. A service technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and interior 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 evaluation executed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a home. It's additionally recommended 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 utilize your fire place, then the more extensive assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only carried out in extreme circumstances when it is definitely necessary 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 annually and maintained as required.
