Chimney Sweep, Inspection, Maintenance, and Repairs
When choosing a Chimney Sweep to get the job done correctly and safely, you should look for the following Professional Certifications. These certifications ensure that your chimney cleaning, inspection, and repairs will be done in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association's regulations for chimney fire safety.
The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 says, "Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary." Not only is it highly recommended to get your chimney inspected and cleaned once a year, we also recommend cleaning it more often if you see a buildup of creosote that is 1/8 of an inch thick. Call your chimney professional prior to the winter rush to get them when they are not so swamped with work. Spring work is off peak and you will have no problems getting someone to do the work quickly.

When your chimney sweep professional has this, you can ensure your professional knows all the state and national safety codes and is able to clean and repair your dryer vent along with your chimney. (Lint and debris in your dryer vent is actually MORE likely to cause a house fire than your chimney).
