They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will include everything that is executed with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the entire flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic as well as any locations bordering the chimney.
