They will likewise check to ensure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
