A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any kind of special devices. A service technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any issues in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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 lot of adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only carried out in severe situations when it is definitely needed in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as needed.
