A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any special tools. A specialist will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and inner 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 done during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's additionally advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have impacted 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 fireplace, then the more extensive evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed 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 only done in severe situations when it is definitely necessary in order to verify the security of the chimney.
