Why Hire a CSIA-Certified Sweep?

Not every chimney sweep is CSIA-certified. When hiring a chimney sweep, look for the CSIA-certified badge. It is your assurance that you are hiring a chimney professional with the skills and tools to perform any chimney service safely and reliably, including inspections, cleanings, repairs, and stove & fireplace insert installations. In addition, a CSIA-Certified Chimney Sweep® must pass recurrent training every two years to maintain this prestigious certification.

Chimney Inspections

One of the most critical jobs of a Certified Chimney Sweep is to perform chimney inspections per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA-211) industry standards. Monroe County fire officials recommend all homeowners with wood or gas-burning heating appliances have annual inspections.

Felgemacher Masonry & Chimney is certified to perform all three levels of chimney inspections, from the standard level 1 visual inspection to an extensive level three examination. We also perform level 2 real estate chimney inspections, which include advanced video technology that can discover minor problems in the flue that cannot be seen during a visual review. A chimney inspection is an efficient and affordable way to detect indications of wear or damage, avoiding more extensive repairs. It also reduces the fire risk and exposure to toxic carbon monoxide fumes.

Removing Flue Obstructions

A flue obstruction occurs when excessive creosote buildup, animal nests, debris, and other organic material restrict the airflow inside the chimney. When the airflow is limited, the smoke and fumes cannot efficiently exit your home. In severe cases, it can cause a dangerous backdraft that pushes smoke, harmful contaminants, and hot embers out of the fireplace and into the living space. In addition to a startling experience, your flooring and nearby furnishings will be covered in black soot and littered with debris. The smoke and fumes will also reduce indoor air quality. So, scheduling a chimney inspection is best to ensure your chimney and fireplace or heating stove are not a fire or health hazard.
