Chimney Sweep & Repair in Unity Township, PA
Unity Township lies in Westmoreland County, 32 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, with a population of roughly 21,400. The typical home in Unity Township was built around 1973 (about 20% of homes here were built before 1950), a period that mixed site-built masonry chimneys with factory-built fireplace systems — so caps, crowns, and flashing tend to fail before the structure itself does. Roughly 17% of homes here still heat primarily with fuel oil, and oil-fired boilers vent through the same chimneys — so a clean, properly lined flue matters even where no one ever lights a fire. At roughly 320 residents per square mile, it is a typical suburban-to-semi-rural community. We serve Unity Township together with nearby communities such as Latrobe, Greensburg and Mount Pleasant 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.

Unity Township Chimney FAQ
My Unity Township home heats with gas — does the chimney still need attention?
Yes. Gas furnaces and water heaters vent through the chimney, and a cracked, blocked, or oversized flue can let exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, back into the house. An annual inspection catches this early.
