If you have not had any problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the whole flue and interior chimney structure.
