A fundamental assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any kind of special devices. A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will additionally examine to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.
