If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra in depth. This will include everything that is completed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to examine the whole flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
