A Level 1 inspection is a basic visual examination of accessible chimney components to assess general condition and functionality.
It is recommended annually for chimneys that have been regularly maintained and show no signs of damage or significant changes.
It includes checking the firebox, damper, flue, and exterior structure for visible damage, obstructions, and creosote buildup.
Typically, it takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the chimney.
Basic visual checks are possible, but a certified professional is recommended for thorough assessment and safety assurance.
Common findings include creosote buildup, cracked mortar joints, loose bricks, and damaged flue liners.
No, if there are signs of damage, such as leaks or poor ventilation, a more in-depth Level 2 or 3 inspection may be necessary.
Costs vary by location but typically range from $75 to $150, depending on chimney size and condition.
