A basic inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any special tools. A professional will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection done during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also recommended 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've made a great deal of modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more in-depth evaluation is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of 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.
