If you have not had any issues in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
