They will also examine to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental assessment with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
