A standard assessment known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special devices. A specialist will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also inspect to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, 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 whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of inspection executed during a property purchase for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also advised if you have had recent damage, quakes, 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 changes in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive examination is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the evaluations performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of parts of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only carried out in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to verify the safety and security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association advises that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be executed once a year and maintained as required.
