Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Pittsburgh provides thorough chimney sweeping to remove this dangerous buildup and ensure your chimney functions properly. Our certified technicians use the latest tools and techniques to carefully clean your chimney without damaging your home. Regular chimney sweeping helps reduce the chances of costly repairs, improves indoor air quality, and ensures your heating system is as efficiently as possible. Schedule an annual  to stay ahead of potential issues and enjoy a safe, warm home.

We work with you to design the perfect installation that complements your home’s aesthetics and heating needs. Enjoy a warm, inviting atmosphere with a professionally installed fireplace, enhancing both comfort and the value of your home.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Over time, lint can build up in your dryer vent, creating a fire hazard and reducing the efficiency of your appliance. Clogged vents not only increase the risk of fire but also cause your dryer to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and longer drying times. Our team uses advanced equipment to clear out lint and debris, improving airflow and preventing dangerous blockages. Routine dryer vent cleaning can extend the life of your dryer and help protect your home from unnecessary fire risks. If you notice longer drying times or excessive heat in your laundry room, it may be time for a thorough vent cleaning.

 

Total Water Protection

 Water damage can severely impact the longevity and functionality of your chimney. Without proper protection, rain and snow can seep into the chimney structure, causing cracks, rust, and mold. Our dedicated team offers total water protection services, including chimney caps, waterproofing treatments, and flashing repairs, to safeguard your chimney against moisture damage. A chimney cap helps prevent rain, snow, and animals from entering your chimney, while waterproofing protects the masonry from the inside out. Investing in water protection can prevent costly repairs, preserve the structural integrity of your chimney, and improve your chimney’s overall performance.

Gas Fireplace Service and Repair

 Gas fireplaces provide a convenient, low-maintenance heating option, but they still require regular service to ensure safety and optimal performance. Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Pittsburgh offers expert gas fireplace service and repair, from troubleshooting ignition issues to cleaning the burner and logs. Over time, gas fireplace components can wear out or accumulate dirt and debris, leading to malfunctioning or inefficient operation. Our team can inspect and repair any issues, ensuring your gas fireplace functions safely and efficiently.

You bet! Before honoring their warranties, most manufacturers require consumers to follow the regulations set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). For stoves that burn cord wood and bio-fuel pellets, the recommendation is an annual sweep. Masonry fireplaces and factory-built fireplaces should be cleaned when the soot level reaches 1/8” thick on the inside walls of the chimney.

The NFPA’s Document 211 reads, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.” It’s advised that you have your fireplace checked annually, regardless of how often you use it. Even if you only use your fireplace so often, you ought to arrange an inspection to verify that your chimney and fireplace lack issues such as loose dampers, leaves or nesting debris blocking the flue, or broken air shutters.

You ought to have a professional clean out your dryer’s ventilation once a year. The vent and its surrounding area ought to be inspected every 6 months to be sure there’s no damage.

Yes! While gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood-burning fireplaces, they still require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity. Even though gas burns without producing creosote, dust, soot, and carbon deposits can still accumulate inside the fireplace, on the burner, logs, glass, and venting system.
