Many companies offer dryer vent cleaning services, usually as an add-on to another service. You want to hire the best. But how do you discern between all the options?

One way is to look for credentials of the company or technician you’re inviting into your home. The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) provides the leading education and certification for the chimney and venting industry. The Institute offers certification for dryer exhaust technicians who pass rigorous testing about all aspects of dryer vent servicing and is the only national recognition of its kind.

By hiring a Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician (C-DET), you get a knowledgeable professional who has spent countless hours learning and studying everything from applicable building code regulations, fire safety standards, proper materials for safe venting, and best practices for inspection and cleaning. The credential signifies knowledge of practices important to providing the best service and to staying ahead in an ever-changing industry.
