Chimney Sweep & Repair in Lower Burrell, PA

Located about 18 miles northeast of downtown Pittsburgh in Westmoreland County, Lower Burrell is a city of roughly 11,600 residents. The typical home in Lower Burrell dates to around 1962 (about 19% of homes here were built before 1950). Chimneys from the mid-century building era are now well past 50 years old, and their flue liners are often cracked, undersized, or missing for the way modern furnaces and water heaters vent. Most homes in Lower Burrell (about 86%) 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 1,030 residents per square mile, it is a typical suburban-to-semi-rural community. We serve Lower Burrell together with nearby communities such as New Kensington, Arnold and Tarentum.

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.
