If you have not had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.

This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a cam or other device to check the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
