A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special devices. A service technician will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an assessment of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of assessment executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 have actually made a lot of changes in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also 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 situations when it is definitely necessary in order to confirm 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 required.
