A basic inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any special tools. A specialist will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a video camera or other device to examine the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment carried out during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's additionally advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more extensive assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.
