A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without making use of any type of special devices. A technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is extra detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other device to check the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended 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 modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more in-depth evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just done in extreme situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as needed.
