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.
