They will also inspect to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the recommended evaluation.

This will consist of everything that is executed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a camera or other device to examine the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure.
