A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any kind of special devices. A specialist will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to examine the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation carried out during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a lot of changes in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations carried out 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 kind of inspection is just carried out in serious circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done annually and maintained as required.
