Chimney Sweep & Repair in Arnold, PA

Arnold is a city in Westmoreland County, about 15 miles northeast of downtown Pittsburgh, home to roughly 4,700 people. The typical home in Arnold dates to around 1950 (about 49% of homes here were built before 1950). Chimneys from the mid-century building era are now well past 50 years old, and their flue liners are often cracked, undersized, or missing for the way modern furnaces and water heaters vent. Most homes in Arnold (about 89%) heat with natural or propane gas, and gas furnaces and water heaters vent through the chimney too — a blocked or deteriorated flue can push carbon monoxide back into the house. At roughly 6,400 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Arnold together with nearby communities such as New Kensington, Tarentum and Lower Burrell.

Western Pennsylvania sees real winters with repeated freeze-thaw cycles from December through March, which is hard on exterior masonry — cracked mortar joints and crown damage show up more here than in milder climates.
