If you have not had any problems in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to examine the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
