A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any special devices. A professional will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will likewise inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to check the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a lot of changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough evaluation is also suggested.
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.

The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as required.
