They will also examine to see to it there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any problems in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will include everything that is carried out with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
