A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any special devices. A professional will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation carried out during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested 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 comprehensive examination is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just performed in serious situations when it is absolutely needed in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed annually and maintained as needed.
