A basic assessment referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual inspection without the use of any special tools. A professional will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make sure that there is no damage or degeneration. They will also check to ensure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will include everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a cam or other device to examine the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
