A fundamental inspection called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without the use of any type of special tools. A technician will inspect all the basic structures that are accessible with a flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a home. It's likewise 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 modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more comprehensive examination is likewise advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out 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.
