A basic assessment called a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without using any type of special devices. A technician will examine all the fundamental structures that are accessible with a light to ensure that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will likewise inspect to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the sort of inspection performed during a property transaction for the sale or purchase of a property. It's also recommended if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any type 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 modifications in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive evaluation is also suggested.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the evaluations executed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, yet also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry.
