A standard evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special tools. A professional will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make sure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic inspection with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation performed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any 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 use your fireplace, then the more extensive examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only performed in severe situations when it is definitely necessary in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out yearly and maintained as required.
