They will also check to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to check the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
