A Level I inspection is the recommended level when an evaluation of the chimney system for
continued service is needed and the conditions of use are not changing. This could include:
· Routine or annual evaluations of the venting system
· An appliance connected to the system is being replaced with a similar appliance
· During chimney cleaning or sweeping
A Level I inspection is limited to readily accessible portions of the venting system, and accessible
portions of the connected appliance(s) and the chimney connection. The inspector will check the
readily accessible portions of the chimney, its enclosing structure, and the flue. A Level I inspection
includes verification that the flue is not blocked or significantly restricted.
Frequency of Inspection
NFPA recommends that all chimneys, fireplaces and vents be inspected annually. In addition to
this requirement, there are other times when chimney and venting systems should be inspected, such
as:
1. After any unusual, or sudden occurrence event, such as a chimney fire, lightning strike, or
earthquake
2. Prior to purchasing a home with an existing chimney
3. Whenever changes are made to a chimney or vent system, including replacement of
connected appliances
4. Prior to major system repairs
