A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any special devices. A technician will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive evaluation is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only done in serious circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out yearly and maintained as required.
