Why do I need to look for professional certifications when hiring a chimney sweep?

If you hire someone without these professional credentials, you risk more than just not having the job done properly. When a chimney technician is not licensed and insured, you are responsible for any mess or damage that occurs while he is in your home. Even worse, you could be liable for any injuries that occur to the technician as well! Hiring a chimney professional who has received certification from the CSIA and the NFI means you will not have to worry about these responsibilities.

How does a chimney professional receive these certifications?

In order to become a CSIA-Certified Chimney Sweep, CSIA-Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician, and a NFI Gas, Wood-Burning, and/or Pellet Specialist, chimney professionals must prepare for and pass exams. These exams are based on chimney and fireplace maintenance, repair, and installation practices. At the time of the exam, the professionals must sign a code of ethics and pledge to follow the guidelines of the organizations. This includes conducting themselves honestly and fairly on the job. This is just one of the reasons why you can trust Chim Cheree, The Chimney Specialists when you hire one of our chimney sweeps to take care of your chimney!
