A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any special tools. A specialist will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a cam or other device to inspect the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection performed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more comprehensive examination is likewise advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only done in serious situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as required.
