Chimney Sweep & Repair in Wilkins Township, PA

Wilkins Township sits in Allegheny County, about 9 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, and is home to roughly 6,200 people. The typical home in Wilkins Township dates to around 1961 (about 20% 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 Wilkins Township (about 76%) 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 2,300 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Wilkins Township together with nearby communities such as Turtle Creek, Forest Hills and North Braddock.

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.
