A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any kind of special devices. A professional will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a flashlight to make certain that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic assessment 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 evaluation of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment performed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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 have actually made a great deal of adjustments in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more in-depth examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just performed in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to validate the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as required.
