A basic evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special tools. A professional will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also inspect to make certain there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to inspect the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a property. 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 have actually made a great deal of adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more in-depth assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, however also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just carried out in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed annually and maintained as needed.
