A basic evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any type of special devices. A specialist will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation performed during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have impacted 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 comprehensive assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done 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. This sort of inspection is just performed in severe circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out once a year and maintained as required.
