3 Things to Keep in Mind When Looking for a Chimney Sweep

Affiliations

Is the chimney sweep affiliated with any notable organizations? The National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are just a few key organizations to look for. Chimney sweeps who are affiliated with these organizations tend to offer a higher-quality service.

Insured

In addition to being licensed, a chimney sweep should also be insured. If you hire an uninsured chimney sweep to clean your chimney and he or she falls, the chimney sweep could sue you. Granted, your homeowner's insurance will likely pick up the tab, but this problem is easily avoided by hiring an insured chimney sweep.

Customer Reviews

Last but not least, check out the chimney sweep's customer reviews before hiring them. Searching either on Google or Angie's List is a great way to determine the quality of a chimney sweep's work.
