If you have not had any issues in the past with routine use of your fire place, this is the advised evaluation.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a cam or other device to examine the whole flue and inner chimney structure.
