A basic assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any type of special tools. A technician will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the whole flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation carried out during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of 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 adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more thorough examination is likewise advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just performed in severe circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed once a year and maintained as needed.
