Chimney Sweep & Repair in North Franklin Township, PA

North Franklin Township sits in Washington County, about 24 miles southwest of downtown Pittsburgh, and is home to roughly 4,800 people. The typical home in North Franklin Township dates to around 1968 (about 32% 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 North Franklin Township (about 68%) 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 650 residents per square mile, it is a typical suburban-to-semi-rural community. We serve North Franklin Township together with nearby communities such as Washington, South Strabane Township and Canton 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.
