A fundamental evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special tools. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection performed during a real estate transaction 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 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 utilize your fireplace, then the more in-depth evaluation is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just carried out in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as needed.
