A standard assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special tools. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to make certain there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a basic assessment with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as 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 advised 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 thorough examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in serious circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to verify 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 required.
