A standard evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any kind of special tools. A service technician will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to inspect the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection carried out during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have affected 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 fireplace, then the more in-depth examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet additionally consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is just carried out in extreme situations when it is absolutely needed in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as required.
