They will also examine to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will include everything that is executed with a basic evaluation with the addition of a cam or other device to check the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
