If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and inner chimney structure.
