A standard evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without making use of any type of special devices. A professional will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a light to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also examine to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of assessment executed during a real estate deal for the sale or purchase of a property. It's likewise recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a lot of modifications in the way you utilize your fireplace, then the more in-depth assessment is likewise recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry.
