Chimney Sweep & Repair in Clairton, PA

Located about 11 miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, Clairton is a city of roughly 6,000 residents. The typical home in Clairton was built around 1943 (about 61% of homes here were built before 1950), so original masonry chimneys with clay-tile or even no flue liner are a regular sight — and age-related mortar, crown, and liner problems are the most common reasons homeowners call. Most homes in Clairton (about 85%) 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 2,200 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Clairton together with nearby communities such as Glassport, Jefferson Hills and McKeesport.

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.
