A fundamental assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any type of special tools. A specialist will examine 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 sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a basic assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection performed 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 kind of event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in serious circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as needed.
