A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any special devices. A professional will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will additionally inspect to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in extreme situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as needed.
