Chimney Sweep & Repair in Ellwood City, PA

Located about 33 miles northwest of downtown Pittsburgh in Lawrence County, Ellwood City is a borough of roughly 6,900 residents. The typical home in Ellwood City was built around 1944 (about 63% 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 Ellwood City (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 3,500 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Ellwood City together with nearby communities such as North Sewickley Township, Shenango Township and Beaver Falls.

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.
