There are three levels of chimney inspection. Also, the level of chimney inspection your home needs will depend on a few things. These include use, condition, damage, changes to the system, and time since the last inspection. Level one inspections are a basic part of regular annual maintenance. They are used for fireplaces with no changes or performance issues. Level three inspections are the most intensive. They typically involve removing a portion of the masonry or surrounding walls. Due to this, Level Three inspections are only recommended in the event of extreme causes. Most often being natural disasters, chimney fires, or issues of structural stability.
Level Two chimney inspections are between Level one and Level three. They offer homeowners a more in-depth analysis of the chimney system, without being invasive or damaging. These inspections typically use technology such as closed-circuit cameras. Cameras allow chimney sweeps to fully evaluate the entirety of your chimney system. This includes the difficult to reach areas in the flue.
