A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any kind of special devices. A professional will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's additionally suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind 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 lot of modifications in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more comprehensive examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.

The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed once a year and maintained as needed.
