If you have never had any type of problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is carried out with a basic assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
