A standard assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special devices. A specialist will check all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a light to see to it 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 debris. If you have never had any issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation performed during a real estate purchase for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, earthquakes, chimney fires, or any type of event which might have impacted the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you've made a great deal of modifications in the way you use your fireplace, then the more in-depth evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but additionally includes the removal of parts of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is just carried out in severe circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed annually and maintained as required.
