'Tis the Season - Chimney Cleaning

Cleaning a chimney is im­portant for the safety of your home and family. Prevent chimney fires and potential house fires, along with dangerous carbon monoxide leaks - hire a pro to inspect and clean before your first fire of the season.  Find a pro trained to diagnose and repair hazards along with maintenance, firebox and damper repair, and smoke chamber repair. Some sweeps also offer more complicated repairs such as flue repair and relining, crown repair, and rebuilding of masonry chimneys.

In the US, the two trade organizations that help to regulate the industry are the Chimney Safety Institute of America and The National Chimney Sweep Guild. Certification for chimney sweeps are issued by two organizations: Certified Chimney Professionals and The Chimney Safety Institute of America. Certification for chimney sweeps who reline chimneys are issued by Certified Chimney Professionals.
