Hiring us as a certified Chimney Professional (CCP), as a trusted NCSG member, as a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep®, and as NFI Certified, means you are trusting your home and family to someone who has spent countless hours studying for (and passing) extensive exams covering everything from the proper inspection and maintenance of a chimney & fireplace — including the masonry that holds it all together — to the applicable codes and standards relating to these systems.
Also, as a trusted NCSG member, our business was screened and approved.
In addition to passing a rigorous examination, as a certification holder, we must agree to abide by a stringent Code of Ethics to protect homeowners from potential scams; otherwise, our certification may be revoked. To keep our certification, we must re-certify through examination or continuing education credits every three years since the industry is constantly evolving.
Our certifications credentials are nationally recognized and acknowledged by industry organizations, insurance underwriters, and local, state, and federal agencies as the measure of a chimney and masonry technician’s knowledge about the evaluation and maintenance of chimney and venting systems and the knowledge needed to properly plan and install hearth products and masonry repairs.
We are trusted experts when builders and officials have questions about the installation and operation of hearth products. Our specialists are experienced in: heat transfer, factors affecting efficiency, codes and standards, masonry repair, installation guidelines and troubleshooting, factory-built fireplaces, inserts, wood stoves, house pressure tests, tools and instruments, construction fundamentals, and safety guidelines.
All our certifications meet the highest of educational standards and are regulated by the Indiana State Workforce Innovation Council, Office for Career and Technical Schools, and recognized as the basis for a special license to install hearth products and is recommended by the Environment Protection Agency.
Building code officials prefer to work with a certified company like us because they know certified professionals have prepared for and passed an industry exam.
To maintain and keep our certification, we have to participate in the NFI Continuing Education Program for certification renewal by attending accredited training programs offering Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
During a typical masonry inspection, we will examine, clean, and verify that your chimney’s masonry system is sound, structurally correct, and safe to use.
Inspections
Gain Peace of Mind with Our Comprehensive Masonry Inspections
Annual inspections catch deterioration early and prevent costly structural repairs.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 211 mandates annual inspections for all chimneys and venting systems, regardless of their frequency of use. Regular masonry inspections can lead to the early detection of mortar deterioration, cracked bricks, and water infiltration that, if left unaddressed, lead to costly structural repairs.
Conversely, masonry that’s not inspected regularly can spall, crack, and fail — especially in Northeast Ohio where harsh winters and freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc on brick joints. Different chimneys necessitate different types of inspections.
At Green and Clean Home Services, we understand that thorough inspections are crucial for maintaining your masonry and ensuring home safety. We offer two levels of inspection as outlined by the NFPA. Here’s what each level involves:
Masonry Exterior Inspection
Roof-line, crown, cap, flashing, and visible brickwork condition.
Masonry Interior Inspection
Flue liner, smoke chamber, firebox, and structural masonry from inside.
Level I Inspections
Level I inspections offer a fundamental examination of your chimney’s masonry from top to bottom. During this inspection, we assess for any visible accumulation, mortar joint deterioration, or apparent issues that might cause spalling or water intrusion. These inspections are advised for homeowners who have consistently maintained their chimney and masonry yearly and are included with our chimney and masonry sweeping services.
Level II Inspections
Level II inspections provide a more thorough analysis and involve a video scan of the entire chimney structure. We inspect the chimney cap, crown, flashing, masonry, flue liner, damper, appliance connections, smoke chamber, and firebox for any signs of cracks, leaks, damage, or other concerns. These inspections are essential prior to the installation of a new appliance, or when there is a noticeable change in the chimney’s performance.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answering your questions about home services.
We use environmentally safe methods and materials in all our masonry work, from low-VOC sealants and waterproofing products to sustainable mortar mixes. We salvage and reuse original brick where structurally sound.
We recommend a yearly inspection to ensure your chimney’s masonry is safe and efficient, especially before the heating season begins. Northeast Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on mortar joints.
Yes — quality tuckpointing replaces deteriorating mortar with fresh, color-matched mortar that locks moisture out and restores structural integrity. Done correctly, it can add 25+ years to your chimney’s life.
A chimney sweep removes creosote and debris from inside the flue, while masonry repair addresses the structural brickwork — bricks, mortar joints, crown, and cap. Many homes need both.
