A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any kind of special devices. A service technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment performed during a property deal 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 type 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 modifications in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more comprehensive evaluation is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only done in severe circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed once a year and maintained as needed.
