A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any special devices. A professional will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine 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 regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind 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 type of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of modifications in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only performed in extreme situations when it is absolutely 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 annually and maintained as required.
