CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps From Valley Chimney
There are numerous reasons to choose CSIA-certified chimney sweeps. We cannot stress it enough – a professional chimney sweep is the only person who should ever do maintenance, repair, or inspections on your chimney. The consequences of someone improperly performing these critical chimney sweep tasks can be severe and even life-threatening.
This is why Valley Chimney requires all of our employees to have industry knowledge, years of experience, and be completely certified by both the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and the National Chimney Sweep Guild. All of our team provides CSIA-certified chimney sweeps and we continue to stay updated with the latest information and certifications.
The CSIA and the NCSG are nationally recognized organizations and provide a number of certification applications. By having our professional chimney sweeps double certified, you can rest easy knowing your chimney is in good hands. As a small, family-owned business, we keep a great team!

How We Provide The Best Chimney Sweep Service
A thorough appointment for our customers also means you need to know what to expect from a professional chimney sweep service! We typically recommend getting your annual chimney inspection mid-summer, before it gets cold and you get busy with the holidays.
To prepare for your chimney sweep service, avoid lighting your fireplace for at least 24 hours, clear any furniture or décor from the surrounding area, and feel free to cover extra precious furnishings – though this is just a precaution. Our chimney cleaning professionals always strive to leave residents’ fireplaces looking as clean as we found them and therefore put down plastic tarping for every visit.
Once properly prepared, our chimney-certified expert will begin the chimney sweep service using a long, heavy, metal bristle brush to scrape at the dirty chimney lining starting from the flue and working upwards. They may choose to start on the chimney via rooftop access first by removing the damper and working downwards.
After cleaning the smoke shelf, smoke chamber, and firebox by hand, the professional will reinstall the damper. After a thorough clean-up post inspection of the chimney, the sweep will issue a report on the state of your fireplace and heat exhaust system. Afterward, simply schedule your next annual chimney sweep service, and rest easy knowing you’re covered by the best chimney sweep service in Chicago!
