A standard evaluation known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual assessment without using any kind of special devices.

They will also examine to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
