A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any special tools. A technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more in depth. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type 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 great deal of adjustments in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just carried out in serious situations when it is definitely needed in order to confirm the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out yearly and maintained as needed.
