Chimney Sweep & Repair in Dormont, PA

Roughly 8,100 people live in Dormont, a borough in Allegheny County about 4 miles southwest of downtown Pittsburgh. The typical home in Dormont was built around 1938 (about 77% 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 Dormont (about 92%) 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 10,600 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Dormont together with nearby communities such as Mount Lebanon, Green Tree and Castle Shannon.

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.
