They will likewise examine to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure.
