A standard evaluation referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special devices. A service technician will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection carried out during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a home. It's likewise suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of 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 adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations performed 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. This kind of inspection is only performed in serious circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed annually and maintained as required.
