Chimney sweeps still exist in the USA, although they offer a variety of
services. The usual term for the industry is Heating/Ventilating/Air
Conditioning Repair, often abbreviated to HVAC Repair. I had my chimney cleaned
a few years ago. The technique used was a powerful, truck-mounted vacuum
Tying to clean up the Wiki a bit and found craft=sweep. I think it would
be better to tag it craft=chimney_sweep as this makes it clearer and a
lot easier to understand for non-native speakers.
What do you think? I would then also like to retagg the few that are
already in use if others agree

I think it's even required to let the chimney of your house cleaned for
insurance purposes. Many people still use wood or pellets to (partially)
heat their house.

I don't think they are extinct.
There are countries that require by regulation regular inspections of
chimneys. For example, they check that the hot exhaust gases from your
methane-fired central heating have non corroded the lining of your chimney,
which would be a fire hazard.

Apart from my first reaction, do they still exist? The last time I saw a
chimney sweep was sometime before the moon landing.
The other and more important to OSM is, do they have a physical
presence? It is the type of trade
Now as we have clarified that they still exist, we could come back
to the original question what would be the best tag.
I agree that craft=chimney_sweep is less ambiguous than =sweep
alone, and with currently 24 instances in taginfo it would be a

I guess this depends on the region. In Germany they are sort of

than co-opt an English one that doesn't actually match the primary function
that these people perform?
