Chimney Sweep & Repair in O'Hara Township, PA

About 8 miles northeast of downtown Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, O'Hara Township has roughly 9,100 residents. The typical home in O'Hara Township dates to around 1966 (about 23% 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 O'Hara Township (about 83%) 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 1,300 residents per square mile, it is a typical suburban-to-semi-rural community. We serve O'Hara Township together with nearby communities such as Fox Chapel, Oakmont and Penn Hills.

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.
