A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any type of special tools. A professional will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard 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 as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment performed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's likewise recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more thorough evaluation is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only done in serious circumstances when it is definitely needed in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as required.
