If you have not had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.

This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
