If you have never had any issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would likewise include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
