A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special tools. A service technician will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's likewise recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind 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 changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes 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 situations when it is definitely needed in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as needed.
