They will also inspect to ensure there is absolutely nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any kind of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and any locations bordering the chimney.
