They will also check to see to it there is absolutely nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any kind of issues in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the suggested evaluation.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more comprehensive. This will consist of everything that is completed with a standard evaluation with the addition of a cam or other device to check the entire flue and interior chimney structure. It would additionally include an inspection of the attic and any areas bordering the chimney.
