They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
