A fundamental inspection known as a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without using any special devices.

They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a basic inspection with the addition of a video camera or other tool to check the entire flue and inner chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
