Chimney Sweep & Repair in Kiskiminetas Township, PA

Kiskiminetas Township sits in Armstrong County, about 29 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, and is home to roughly 4,600 people. The typical home in Kiskiminetas Township was built around 1973 (about 31% of homes here were built before 1950), a period that mixed site-built masonry chimneys with factory-built fireplace systems — so caps, crowns, and flashing tend to fail before the structure itself does. Most homes in Kiskiminetas Township (about 78%) 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. Spread over about 41 square miles, it is one of the more rural parts of our service area. We serve Kiskiminetas Township together with nearby communities such as Vandergrift, Washington Township and Allegheny Township.

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.
