If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
