Chimney Sweep & Repair in Shenango Township, PA

About 39 miles northwest of downtown Pittsburgh in Lawrence County, Shenango Township has roughly 7,100 residents. The typical home in Shenango Township dates to around 1965 (about 24% 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 Shenango 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. Spread over about 24 square miles, it is one of the more rural parts of our service area. We serve Shenango Township together with nearby communities such as New Castle, Ellwood City and North Sewickley 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.
