A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special devices. A technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to ensure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic assessment with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection performed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also recommended 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've made a great deal of changes in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive evaluation is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only done in extreme situations when it is absolutely needed in order to confirm the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as required.
