A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special devices. A technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a cam or other device to inspect the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation 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 residential or commercial property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth evaluation is additionally recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only carried out in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done annually and maintained as needed.
