They will also check to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is extra in depth. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic inspection with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the whole flue and also internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
