A basic assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without using any type of special devices. A professional will inspect all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will likewise examine to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any kind of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of adjustments in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more in-depth evaluation is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments performed 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. This kind of inspection is only performed in severe situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to confirm the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as needed.
