They will also check to ensure there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or build up. If you have never had any type of issues in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is extra in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a standard assessment with the addition of a cam or other tool to check the entire flue as well as inner chimney structure.
