A fundamental evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special tools. A service technician will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection performed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 great deal of modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.
