If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced evaluation, or Level 2 inspection, is more extensive. This will include everything that is carried out with a fundamental evaluation with the addition of a cam or other tool to inspect the whole flue and also interior chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic as well as any areas bordering the chimney.
