A standard inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any kind of special devices. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of evaluation performed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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 have actually made a lot of changes in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more in-depth evaluation is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes 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 kind of inspection is only carried out in serious circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done once a year and maintained as needed.
