A basic evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any kind of special devices.

They will also inspect to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to examine the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the kind of evaluation performed during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential or commercial property.
