A basic inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any special devices. A specialist will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's additionally advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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've made a lot of adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more in-depth examination is additionally advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in serious circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
