A standard assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any kind of special tools. A specialist will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a property. It's additionally advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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've made a great deal of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more comprehensive assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just performed in severe 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 done yearly and maintained as needed.
