A home with a fireplace gives it a level of cozy and
romance. To keep the home and its occupants safe it is essential to have the
chimney maintained properly to avoid fire and carbon monoxide poisoning. Maintenance
includes an annual inspection and cleaning to keep the chimney in proper
working order. It is important to choose a chimney sweeping company
wisely.
Let’s discuss three things to consider when hiring a chimney
sweeping company to perform the work.
1. Professional Certification
It is preferable the chimney sweeping company of choice has
a certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). The CSIA
offers professional certification to individuals that meet the requirements of
the institute by successfully completing a rigorous training program. Certified
chimney sweeps are also required to renew their certification annually and
complete a refresher program.
2. Insurance
It is important the chimney sweeping company carry liability
and workers compensation insurance to protect the customer’s property,
including home and furniture, in case of accident and damage. A reputable
sweeping company will provide documentation upon request and as part of a
written estimate. Customers can also verify the information with the insurance
carrier.
3. Certified Chimney Sweep on the Job
To be certain the chimney sweeping work is performed
properly, it is important to make sure the company assign a certified chimney
sweep to be present at the job site at all times. This action assures that completion
of the work is according to standards and best chimney sweeping practices.
