A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any special tools. A technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with normal 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 executed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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 changes in the way you use your fire place, then the more comprehensive assessment is likewise advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only performed in severe circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed once a year and maintained as required.
