A basic inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any kind of special devices. A specialist will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held flashlight to ensure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also examine to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done 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 kind of event which may have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a lot of adjustments in the way you use your fire place, then the more extensive evaluation is also recommended.
A Level 3 inspection includes all the assessments performed in Level 1 and 2 inspections, however also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building such as the chimney crown or masonry. This kind of inspection is just carried out in extreme situations when it is absolutely necessary in order to validate the safety of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as needed.
