A standard evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any special tools. A technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is extra in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to check the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would likewise include an assessment of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection performed during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type 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 use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in serious situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as needed.
