If you have not had any issues in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to check the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any areas surrounding the chimney.
