If you have never had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
