If you have not had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the entire flue and internal chimney structure.
