They will additionally check to make sure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have not had any concerns in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more in depth. This will include everything that is executed with a basic assessment with the addition of a cam or other device to inspect the whole flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
