Why You Should Choose a Certified Sweep
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you have your chimney inspected at least once per year. Now anyone can look at a chimney, but it takes a specialist to determine your chimney's condition and to make recommendations for appropriate sweeping, relining, or repair. Because chimney sweeps play such an important part in your safety, and since the nature of their work requires that they come into your home, it's important that you choose a chimney sweep that you trust completely. Consider these reasons to select the best professional for your home and family: Certification is evidence that the certified professional cares about his customers enough that he will invest the time and money to receive the best education in his field of expertise.
