They will also check to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a basic assessment with the addition of a video camera or other device to check the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
