Chimney Sweep & Repair in Duquesne, PA

Located about 9 miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, Duquesne is a city of roughly 5,100 residents. The typical home in Duquesne was built around 1946 (about 58% 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 Duquesne (about 84%) 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 2,800 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Duquesne together with nearby communities such as North Braddock, North Versailles Township 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.
