If you have not had any type of issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a standard evaluation with the addition of a electronic camera or other device to examine the entire flue and also inner chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
