A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special devices. A professional will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more in depth. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more comprehensive assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.
