A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without making use of any type of special tools. A service technician will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also check to make certain there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment executed during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also 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 have actually made a lot of changes in the way you use your fire place, then the more in-depth examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just performed in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out once a year and maintained as needed.
