A basic assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any type of special tools. A specialist will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make certain there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is completed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation done during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's likewise advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any event which may have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of modifications in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more comprehensive 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 sort of inspection is only carried out in severe circumstances when it is definitely necessary in order to verify the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out once a year and maintained as needed.
