A standard assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any kind of special tools. A specialist will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation done during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of 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 changes in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive assessment is additionally 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 like the chimney crown or masonry.
