A standard evaluation called a Level 1 inspection is a visual examination without the use of any type of special tools. A service technician will check all the standard structures that are accessible with a hand-held light to see to it that there is no damage or deterioration. They will also check to make sure there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with routine use of your fireplace, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is more detailed. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard inspection with the addition of a cam or other device to examine the entire flue and internal chimney structure. It would additionally include an assessment of the attic as well as any areas surrounding the chimney.
