A basic inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any kind of special devices. A service technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind 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 more extensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection executed during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which might have affected 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 use your fireplace, then the more thorough assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.
