If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is completed with a standard assessment with the addition of a cam or other device to check the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
