They will additionally examine to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any kind of concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic assessment with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
