A professional will check all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make certain there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
