How To Hire A Chimney Sweep

Are you in search of a reliable chimney sweep? If it’s a chimney cleaning or an annual inspection you’re after, prior research into the chimney service company is important. Due to the Chimney Safety Institute of America’s (CSIA) recommendation to hire CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps®, it encouraged for each homeowner to enforce these qualifications before hiring technicians.

Defend Your Home: Ask Questions

Part of the chimney sweep’s job is to protect people from unnecessary fires and monoxide poisonings. Therefore, it is important to choose a properly trained and certified service technician. To find a suitable professional, ask these questions to prove credibility:

1. How long has the company been in business?
2. Do they have current references?
3. Does the company have unresolved complaints filed within the Better Business Bureau, city or state?
4. What kind of liability insurance does this company or individual carry? Is it valid? Will it protect your home furnishings in case of an accident?
5. Will a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® be on the job site?

As of now, there are more than 1,300 CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps® located in North America. In fact all chimney sweep companies are required to have one certified chimney sweep on every job site to ensure the protection of homeowners.
