A standard inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special tools. A service technician will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a cam or other device to inspect the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection executed during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have impacted 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 utilize your fire place, then the more comprehensive assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.
