They will also check to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any issues in the past with regular use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is much more extensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the entire flue and also internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an evaluation of the attic and any locations surrounding the chimney.
