Chimney inspections are governed by the National Fire Protection Association. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) specifies three categories of chimney inspection.
The most typical inspection is a Level 1 Chimney Inspection. It entails a thorough examination of all readily accessible parts of the chimney system’s interior and exterior. A professional technician from Clean as a Whistle Chimney Sweep will inspect the building flue for fundamental structural soundness as well as combustible deposits and obstructions.
The Level 2 Chimney Inspection is a little trickier. When a chimney has been damaged and needs to be repaired, which is usually done when buying or selling a property. An inspection by a Certified Clean as a Whistle Chimney Sweep includes the design, installation, maintenance, and inspection of chimneys, fireplaces, and venting systems in all residential, commercial or industrial buildings.
When the chimney has undetected defects, a Level 3 Chimney Inspection is frequently necessary. Opening or removing an internal wall to provide access to concealed components of the chimney might be one scenario. This level of examination is usually performed when a more significant problem has been discovered and a repair solution needs to be decided. All three Levels of Inspection should be easily identifiable by a Certified Chimney Sweep. If you question a chimney sweep and they scratch their heads or can’t give you a clear explanation for the kind you might require, it’s time to call Clean As A Whistle Chimney Sweep.
