A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special tools. A service technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation performed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any event which may have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive assessment is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just performed in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
