Certified CSIA Chimney Technicians

 The  Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), a non-profit organization  governed by volunteer industry professionals, was established in 1983 to  provide homeowners a means to measure a chimney sweep’s technical  expertise.

The  nationally recognized certification earned through the CSIA is the  measure of a chimney sweep’s knowledge about the evaluation and  maintenance of chimney and venting systems. In addition to passing a  rigorous examination, each person wishing to hold a CSIA certification  must also agree to abide by a stringent Code of Ethics. We feel this is  critical to protecting homeowners from potential scams. If a CSIA  Certified Chimney Sweep is found to be in violation, their certification  may be revoked.

​Focus on Public Safety and Industry Advancement ​CSIA  Certified Chimney Sweeps must recertify through examination or  continuing education credits every three years. Since the industry is  constantly evolving, CSIA does not believe in providing a "one-and-done"  lifetime certification
