They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a cam or other device to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
