A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any special devices. A specialist will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a light to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to ensure there is nothing obstructing 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 suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic assessment with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment carried out during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a home. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of changes in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more thorough examination is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations done in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is only carried out in severe circumstances when it is absolutely necessary in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be carried out annually and maintained as needed.
