A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any special devices. A technician will inspect 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 sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment carried out during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may 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 utilize your fireplace, then the more thorough assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in severe circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to confirm the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed once a year and maintained as required.
