A standard evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without the use of any kind of special tools. A technician will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment done during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of changes in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more comprehensive assessment is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only done in serious circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed annually and maintained as required.
