Providing a Safe and Warm Home
The primary job of a chimney service professional is to aid in the prevention of fires and carbon monoxide emergencies related to the use of fireplaces, wood stoves, gas, oil and coal heating systems.
CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps are trained to install, clean and maintain these systems, evaluate their performance, prescribe changes to improve their performance, and educate the consumer about their safe and efficient operation. IMPORTANT: Please contact a local CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep ASAP if you're experiencing one or more of these potentially dangerous issues:
