A fundamental inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without making use of any special tools. A professional will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing obstructing 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 more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation executed during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's additionally advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have affected 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 extensive evaluation is additionally advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.
