If you have never had any kind of problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to check the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
