A basic assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any kind of special devices. A specialist will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other device to examine the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only performed in extreme circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as required.
