Chimney A. asked:Hiring a chimney sweep can seem like a daunting task. We're here to help! We’ve got 3 things to check for when the time comes to have your chimney serviced. ➡️ Can the Sweep provide references? ➡️ Do they carry liability insurance to protect your home and furnishings against accidents? ➡️ Will they ensure that a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® will be on site?...

David N. replied:I have over 37 years in the industry and still learning new things. (Old guy) Check out CSIA.ORG and open the door to great things. You will find a great group of people eager to share ideas and knowledge. Truly a great organization with great people.

RaiThioS asked:Looking for Chimney sweep I'm looking for a chimney sweep pro or service to use. Someone that doesn't charge $100's for a safety inspection on top of a normal cleaning fee. It's about affordability.. not trying to be a cheap jerk. Located in Fairview area, stainless stovepipe from wood burner. I have extension ladder and roof/pipe area is safe and level to work around. Pipe has a 90 degree bend into house and another into stove. If I knew how to do these bend areas I would attempt the work myself. However, I don't... Wood burner cleaning would be great as well. Msg me if you have experience and tools and need the work.

Geneice W. asked:Can anyone recommend a licensed, professional Chimney Sweeper that you have had experience with that isn't outrageousely priced? Our home's wood burning fireplace hasnt been used in years so the integerity of the chimney needs to be checked as to not start any fires. Thank youHank T. replied:csia.org would be a place to start. Shows sweeps in the area that have continuing education. Price wise, someone with brushes and equipment can maybe clean. Actually cleaning is the easy part. But can that person inspect the solid fuel system as it relates to current standards and give that to you in writing. Cleaning easy, evaluating your chimney for safety is professional. Go to this web site. It will help you interview the person.

Ken H. asked:Does anyone have a good chimney sweep they can recommend? Our heating system isn't running quite the way we want to. There's way too much smoke coming out of the bottom of the chimney. It's possible the chimney somehow got upside down this summer.

Chimney A. asked:Your faithful CSIA marketing and communications director is having his Indianapolis, Indiana home used as a learning site for AHIT home inspector trainees. One of the instructor's recommendations: Get my dryer exhaust duct cleaned out, now and annually! Fortunately I know of some good C-DET techs to hire!Chimney A. replied:There was a training on what to look for on the exterior of the chimney but, as I told them, for complete confidence about what's occurring in the flue, call a csia.org certified chimney sweep!

Robin S. asked:FB Friends, I need some advice. I have a very old gas fireplace in my house that I want to have it checked out/inspected, and possibly a new one put in place. Can anyone recommend someone to do this work in the Pittsburgh area?
Josh V. replied:Robin, I actually have been in the market to do the same thing. I subscribed to Angies List as well and just as Jodi said there are few to no options being in Armstrong or even Butler County. One of the vendors suggested to try CSIA.org website. Most of these individuals are certified in all aspects of what you are looking for. I found Tom Smail in Slate Lick. He is certified in all aspects and can check the gas lines and inspect if you need repairs on it.

ChimneyJones asked:IamA Chimney Sweep AMA! I've been working in the chimney industry for a few years, and right now is about the time people start thinking about lighting fireplaces for the first time. I'd be happy to answer questions on- or off-topic, especially if you have safety concerns! **Edit** ctrl+f serious if you want actual chimney answers. _____________________________________ **Edit 2** Post questions in this thread and I'll respond Monday. I've enjoyed chatting with you all! I am familiar with quite a few names in the industry so if anyone in the US would like a **recommendation** for a good chimney sweep, PM me and I can probably give you a couple of names. (Fair warning: if you are in my area I'll probably put the company I work for on the list.) _____________________________________ **My Proof:** Submitted to mods
krisrob46 replied:Fellow Sweep here. Been doing it for almost 10 years. Love the job couldn't imagine doing anything else. Great idea posting an AMA. People need to learn more about their chimneys and safe burning practices. Best advice I can give someone, hire a certified chimney sweep. www.csia.org . There are a lot of untrustworthy people that call themselves sweeps. Find a pro and save yourself from getting screwed.

Melissa L. asked:Can anyone recommend a good/reliable chimney company/person- need a chimney sweep & cap. Thanks!Jonathan C. replied:Thanks for the referral Kathleen Archacki! We always appreciate it. However, I just want to clarify (after checking our records for you) that our pricing had been the same for you the last 3 visits. It's funny, we have other customers who also say the same thing that our prices keep going up, when in reality we have been charging the same price to sweep chimneys for about 10 years. In regards to the original post, the other companies mentioned are also certified sweeps and good guys. You can always check out csia.org to find certified sweeps, although word of mouth is always good to verify customer satisfaction.

Regina F. asked:Our fireplace chimney needs repair. Anybody have any recommendations?Douglas L. replied:Wow. All of you need to do your research before choosing a chimney guy. ONLY USE CSIA CERTIFIED SWEEPS. Americanchimneyservice.com has the MOST amount of certified techs in the state with an A+ rep with the bbb and the top rated chimney company on Ang ie's list. Some companies may SEEM good, but if you are not educating yourself as a homeowner BEFORE choosing a contractor, you can easily be fooled. PLEASE do your due diligence people. CSIA.org is a great resource as well as the National Chimney Sweep Guild. And yes I am a chimney contractor and yes I would love to help you with any issues your home may have, but it's more important to me to get you INFORMED & EDUCATED as to what may or may not be going on in your home.
