    Why Choose a CSIA Certified Sweep? (Chimney Safety Institute of America)

    This is a picture of an undersized liner installed in someone’s chimney. Installed by a handyman who does not know the chimney codes or venting physics. They paid $3500 for this. The result, every time the customer lit a fire their house filled with smoke. The installer did not return their calls.

    We removed the liner and installed a properly sized liner which is working perfectly. Our recommendation, leave the chimney work to the experts, even if it costs a little bit more. The peace of mind will be worth it. #lightitup
