A basic inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without making use of any type of special tools. A technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also check to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any 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 changes in the way you use your fire place, then the more thorough evaluation is likewise advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations performed 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 type of inspection is just carried out in extreme circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as required.
