A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without the use of any type of special devices. A professional will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to ensure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a basic evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment carried out during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, 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 lot of changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more in-depth assessment is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations performed 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 type of inspection is only carried out in extreme situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as needed.
