If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other tool to check the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
