A fundamental inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any kind of special devices. A professional will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also check to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to check the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more extensive assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.
