They will also check to make sure there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or debris. If you have never had any concerns in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will include everything that is executed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to inspect the entire flue as well as interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
