They will also check to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, 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 fundamental evaluation with the addition of a cam or other device to check the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
