They will also examine to see to it there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is extra detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a video camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would also include an evaluation of the attic and also any locations bordering the chimney.
