If you have never had any issues in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the entire flue and also internal chimney structure.
