A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special devices. A specialist will inspect all the fundamental 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 see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will include everything that is completed with a basic assessment with the addition of a camera or other tool to check the whole flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just carried out in extreme situations when it is definitely needed in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done annually and maintained as needed.
