Homeowners
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends chimneys be inspected annually and cleaned as needed. Having your chimney inspected by a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® before lighting your first fire of the season, is the #1 way to prevent potential damage to your home or even the loss of life that may result from a damaged or blocked chimney.
With more than 2,300 CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps® located across the United States, it has never been easier to find one near you.
