Chimney Repairs In Pittsburgh, PA

As the gusty winds of winter howl through Pittsburgh's iconic steel skyline and snow blankets the rooftops, one thing remains constant: the need for reliable chimney repairs, including relining, tuckpointing, chase cover replacement, and more. Advance Chimney Sweep Services is dedicated to providing top-notch chimney repair services to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, from the historic neighborhoods of the South Side Flats to the bustling riverfront.

Chimney Relining

The chimney liner is crucial as it protects the home's combustible components from extreme heat. It also prevents family members from being exposed to toxic carbon monoxide gases. Damage to the chimney liner can occur due to various factors such as age, faulty installation, lack of cleaning, and chimney fires. If a chimney liner is damaged, it is important not to use the fireplace or stove until it is relined or replaced. Advance Chimney Sweep utilizes HeatShield® for relining clay tile liners and recommends stainless steel chimney liners as the best choice for replacement.

Pittsburgh Masonry Repair 

Between the snowy winters and humid summers in Western Pennsylvania, masonry damage can occur over time. If left unrepaired, this can lead to mortar and brick deterioration, water leaks, mold, and other costly issues in the chimney, fireplace, and your home. These problems could also pose risks to the health and safety of your family. Some of the common repairs we perform in Greater Pittsburgh include:

  • Tuckpointing is when a highly skilled masonry technician carefully removes the decaying mortar, cleans the joints between the bricks, and applies fresh mortar to restore the chimney's integrity.
  • Chimney Crown Repair restores its protective function of preventing water leaks. Depending on whether the damage is minor or severe, we can repair it with a CrownCoat sealant. Otherwise, removing the damaged sections and rebuilding the crown may be necessary.
  • Chimney Rebuilding involves completely rebuilding a damaged or deteriorated chimney. It may be necessary if the chimney is severely compromised due to structural issues, fire, or other factors. The original structure is demolished during rebuilding, and the chimney is rebuilt using new materials in compliance with local building codes. A new liner is also installed.

Chimney Cap Replacement

A chimney cap protects your home from water damage, animal nests, pest infestations, and potential roof fires. If your current cap is damaged, rusted, or missing, it’s time for a replacement. Our chimney caps are custom-manufactured in Pennsylvania to ensure a perfect fit for your masonry chimney. We offer a variety of sizes and styles to meet your specific needs.

Damper Repair

Did you know that a top-sealing damper is now the industry standard? Instead of replacing a conventional throat damper, which is inefficient and prone to rust and leaks, let our team install a new top-sealing damper. Top-sealing dampers are significantly more efficient and prevent heat from escaping your home. In addition, they are easier to operate and can help reduce energy bills.
