A standard inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without making use of any type of special devices. A service technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make certain 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 routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of inspection performed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also recommended 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 use your fire place, then the more comprehensive evaluation is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also includes the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This sort of inspection is only done in severe situations when it is definitely needed in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be done yearly and maintained as required.
