If you have never had any issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is extra detailed. This will include everything that is completed with a standard inspection with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of assessment done during a real estate transaction for the sale or purchase of a property.
