What it means to be Certified

Regarding our education/certification, here is a little explanation from the Chimney Safety Institute of America website www.csia.org:
The CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician® (CDET) program is a comprehensive, written, examination that is administered, and graded by the Chimney Safety Institute of America. The examination evaluates a Dryer Exhaust Technician's understanding of the basic information technicians must master to become competent dryer exhaust safety and fire prevention specialists. Technicians desiring to be CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician® test by paying the applicable certification examination fee to the CSIA and are tested on building codes, NFPA 211, NFPA 54 standards, and all facets of cleaning and examining residential and commercial dryer exhaust systems. ​
