A basic evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special devices. A professional will inspect all the standard 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 debris. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and internal 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 sort of inspection performed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also advised 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 have actually made a lot of adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations 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 necessary in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed annually and maintained as needed.
