Chimney Sweep & Repair in Shaler Township, PA

About 6 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, Shaler Township has roughly 27,500 residents. The typical home in Shaler Township dates to around 1961 (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 Shaler Township (about 93%) 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 2,500 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Shaler Township together with nearby communities such as Ross Township, West View and Fox Chapel.

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.
