Chimney Sweep & Repair in Union Township, PA

About 14 miles south of downtown Pittsburgh in Washington County, Union Township has roughly 5,400 residents. The typical home in Union Township dates to around 1966 (about 25% 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 Union 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 350 residents per square mile, it is a typical suburban-to-semi-rural community. We serve Union Township together with nearby communities such as South Park Township, Jefferson Hills and Carroll 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.
