They will additionally inspect to make certain there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
