Standards
Built on IRC and NFPA guidance
NFPA 211 is the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents and solid fuel-burning appliances, published by the National Fire Protection Association. It calls for an inspection at least once a year and defines three inspection levels.
Level 1 for chimneys in regular use with no changes
Level 2 when a home is sold, the fuel or appliance changes, or after a storm or chimney fire
Level 3 when a hidden hazard is suspected
The International Residential Code (IRC), published by the International Code Council, sets construction rules for chimneys and fireplaces in Chapter 10, Chimneys and Fireplaces, covering masonry and factory-built fireplaces and chimneys. Most states and cities adopt the IRC, often with local amendments, so check with your local building department for the edition that applies to your home.
ChimneySweeps.com is a national network of independently owned local chimney companies. Each member serves its own area-code territory, so when you call 833-CHIMNEY and enter your ZIP code, you reach the company that covers your area.
How does 833-CHIMNEY work?
Call 833-CHIMNEY (833-244-6639) and enter your ZIP code when asked. The call is routed to the member company for your area. If we do not have a member in your area yet, the call is answered on our national line.
How often should my chimney be inspected?
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, calls for an inspection at least once a year, and cleaning when the inspection shows it is needed.
What is the difference between a chimney inspection and a chimney cleaning?
An inspection checks the condition of the chimney and tells you whether it is safe. A cleaning removes the creosote and soot. Many visits include both: the sweep inspects, cleans what is needed, and reports what they found.
Is the sweep who comes out certified?
Each member is an independent local business that sets its own training and credentials. Ask the company what training or certifications its technicians hold, and whether it is licensed and insured where your state or city requires it.
Do you clean dryer vents and gas fireplaces too?
Ask your local company, since each member sets its own list of services. Dryer vent cleaning is one of the three core services on every local page, and gas fireplaces and appliance vents can be inspected for blockages and damage.
Will my request be sold to several companies?
No. Each territory has one member company, so your call goes to the company that serves your area code rather than to a list of bidders.
