If you have not had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the advised inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and also inner chimney structure. It would likewise include an evaluation of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
