They will also inspect to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any kind of concerns in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is a lot more detailed. This will consist of everything that is completed with a basic assessment with the addition of a camera or other device to check the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic and also any areas bordering the chimney.
