They will likewise examine to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an inspection of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
