A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any type of special devices. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a 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 debris. If you have never had any problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an assessment of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection carried out during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may have affected 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 evaluation is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just performed in serious circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as needed.
