A basic inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any type of special devices. A service technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make sure 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 build up. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection performed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's likewise recommended 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 great deal of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just performed in serious situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed yearly and maintained as needed.
