Don’t let the soot-faced Mary Poppins caricature fool you. Modern chimney
sweeps certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America aren’t just pushing and pulling a brush through the flue. They know the codes, are taught best practices, and comprehend what’s expected of them when they market, using our logo. They understand that the mechanical act of sweeping the chimney is not as difficult as the intellectual exercise of inspecting it.
CSIA offers credentials with credibility that home inspectors can trust because our always-evolving instruction is peer-driven and geared to upholding the top standard of care.
Over 1,600 professionals have the CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® credential, giving you more choices than ever.

H
(�“I believe that we are at the very beginning of an exciting and renewed surge in the blue-collar service industry in the United States. The next 10 years will see an increase in the need for home service providers, and I believe the orga-nized chimney sweep and venting companies can have a front-row opportu-nity to help homeowners in many ways. The cur-rent trend of our society and education is causing fewer and fewer people to know how to ‘fix’ or do maintenance on anything. CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps® and C-DET Certified Dryer Exhaust Technicians® are excellent problem-solvers, multi-taskers, and customer service specialists—ready to help the consumer with their knowledge and ability.”
