A standard inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any type of special devices. A technician will examine all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make certain that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a cam or other device to check the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment performed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a property. It's additionally suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of adjustments in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more extensive examination is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.
