They will also examine to make certain there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and internal chimney structure.
