They will also examine to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to examine the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
