A basic evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any type of special tools. A service technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will additionally check to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection performed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's additionally suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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 have actually made a great deal of modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more in-depth assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just done in severe situations when it is definitely necessary in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as needed.
