A certified chimney sweep is a skilled professional who specializes in the inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of chimneys, flues, and other venting systems. Their work is crucial for ensuring fire safety, preventing carbon monoxide poisoning, and improving the efficiency of heating appliances. The "certified" designation signifies that the individual has met specific industry standards and has been trained in best practices, often through organizations like the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG).

We are looking for the right individual to train for this position.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Chimney Inspection : Conduct comprehensive inspections to assess the condition of the chimney, fireplace, and venting system. This includes checking for creosote buildup, structural damage (cracks, loose mortar), blockages (like animal nests or debris), and proper clearances. They may use specialized tools like cameras or video scanners for a detailed internal inspection.
  • Chimney Cleaning : Use specialized equipment, including brushes, rods, and powerful vacuums, to remove soot, creosote, and other combustible deposits from the chimney flue.
  • Safety and Maintenance : Identify and address potential hazards. This includes performing smoke leakage tests, recommending and performing necessary repairs, such as relining the flue, repairing masonry, or replacing damaged components like chimney caps and dampers.
  • Customer Communication : Effectively communicate with homeowners about the condition of their chimney system, explain the need for cleaning and repairs, and provide advice on safe operation and maintenance of heating appliances.
  • Adherence to Standards : Ensure all work complies with national and local fire and building codes, such as those from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
  • Appliance Servicing : Service and maintain solid fuel appliances (like wood-burning stoves) to ensure they operate efficiently and safely.
  • General Duties : Maintain a clean and tidy work area, protect the customer's property from soot and dust, and handle billing and scheduling.

    • Required Skills and Qualifications :

  • Certification : A recognized certification from an accredited organization like the CSIA or NCSG is a must. This demonstrates a strong understanding of industry standards, safety protocols, and proper techniques.
  • Technical Knowledge : In-depth knowledge of different types of chimneys, venting systems, and heating appliances (wood, gas, oil). Proficiency in using specialized tools and equipment.
  • Physical Fitness : The job is physically demanding. It requires the ability to lift and carry heavy equipment, work on ladders and roofs at various heights, and navigate confined spaces like attics and crawl spaces.
  • Problem-Solving : The ability to troubleshoot issues, identify the root cause of problems (e.g., drafting issues, leaks), and propose effective solutions.
  • Attention to Detail : Meticulous approach to inspections and cleaning to ensure no potential hazards are overlooked.
  • Communication Skills : Strong interpersonal skills to interact with customers in a professional, clear, and reassuring manner.
  • Safety Conscious : A strong commitment to personal and customer safety, including the use of protective equipment and adherence to all safety regulations.
  • Self-Motivation : Many chimney sweeps work independently or as part of a small team, requiring a self-starting attitude and the ability to manage time and tasks efficiently.
  • Valid Driver's License : The ability to travel to various job sites.
