Chimney Sweep & Repair in McKees Rocks, PA

Roughly 5,800 people live in McKees Rocks, a borough in Allegheny County about 4 miles northwest of downtown Pittsburgh. The typical home in McKees Rocks was built around 1949 (about 51% 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 McKees Rocks (about 94%) 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 5,500 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve McKees Rocks together with nearby communities such as Stowe Township, Bellevue and Kennedy 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.
