They will also check to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is carried out with a basic inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
