A standard assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any special devices. A professional will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment performed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended 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 have actually made a lot of changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only carried out in severe circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as needed.
