They will also inspect to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to check the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
