They will also examine to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a camera or other device to check the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
