A fundamental assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any kind of special devices. A technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation performed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a lot of modifications in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more comprehensive assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.
