A standard evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special devices. A professional will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a light to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to check the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation done during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any event which may 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 utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only carried out in serious circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done annually and maintained as required.
