Chimney Sweep & Repair in Swissvale, PA

Swissvale is a borough in Allegheny County, about 6 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, home to roughly 8,400 people. The typical home in Swissvale was built around 1941 (about 58% 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 Swissvale (about 86%) 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 7,000 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Swissvale together with nearby communities such as Forest Hills, Wilkinsburg and Munhall.

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.
