A technician will inspect all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held flashlight to make sure that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations surrounding the chimney.
