They will also inspect to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of concerns in the past with regular use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will include everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a video camera or other device to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
