Why You Should Choose a Certified Sweep
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you have your chimney inspected at least once per year. Now anyone can look at a chimney, but it takes a specialist to determine your chimney’s condition and to make recommendations for appropriate sweeping, relining, or repair. Because chimney sweeps play such an important part of your safety, and since the nature of their work requires that they come into your home, it's important that you choose a chimney sweep that you trust completely. Consider these reasons to select the best professional for your home and family:
Certification is evidence that the certified professional cares about their customers enough that they will invest the time and money to receive the best education in their field of expertise.
CSIA, Certified Chimney Sweeps keep abreast of the current developments and the technology of their trade. They are knowledgeable about the most recent National Fire Protection Association standards as well as the specifics of state and local codes covering their geographic area. In order to ensure a verifiable level of expertise within the trade, the Chimney Safety Institute of America administers the CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep Program.
Throughout most of the 50 states, the homeowner's best gauge of a chimney serviceperson's knowledge is the CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep credential. C.S.I.A. Certified Sweeps are tested every three years, and display a dated, photo-ID badge. A good way to be sure the sweep servicing your chimney is currently Certified is to check the search engine on this website or call the CSIA office. These sweeps must also sign a CSIA Chimney Sweep Code of Ethics to help insure homeowners get not only a knowledgeable sweep, but an honest one. Don't settle for less!"
