A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any kind of special devices. A specialist will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a camera or other device to check the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation performed during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more in-depth examination is likewise advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just carried out in severe circumstances when it is absolutely needed 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 needed.
