A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without making use of any type of special tools. A technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to ensure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only done in extreme situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed annually and maintained as required.
