A fundamental assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special devices. A service technician will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to examine the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also advised 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 adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only carried out in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out once a year and maintained as needed.
