Top chimney sweep in Uniontown, PA
When was the last time you scheduled a chimney sweep and cleaning? If it’s been more than a year ago, then it’s time to contact Advance Chimney Sweeps today. We recommend that all of our customers schedule this chimney service in Uniontown, PA between the late spring and early summer. This allows us plenty of time to get your chimney ready for fall usage.
During our visit, we’ll clear out any creosote from your flue. This sticky, tar-like substance can quickly build up within a flue — particularly if you burn unseasoned wood.
It’s a natural by-product, but it's more prominent when the homeowner burns soft or unseasoned wood routinely. Creosote can be toxic and smelly. It also is highly flammable and can lead to a house fire if left too long. An annual sweep and cleaning can help mitigate this problem.

Level 2 Chimney Inspections are the next step up. Here, we’ll use cameras to inspect your chimney more thoroughly.
The latter is also sometimes referred to as a real estate chimney inspection. Any homeowner intending to sell their home must have a Level 2 Inspection before the property can change hands.
Effective chimney repairs in
Uniontown, PA
Depending on the results of our inspection, we may need to perform several types of chimney repairs, such as:
- A missing or damaged chimney cap;
- A damaged damper;
- Or crumbling flue tiles.
Chimney leaks often stem from one of those problems. A missing chimney cap can lead to both blockages as well as leaks and should be fixed ASAP. A damaged damper can also contribute to chimney leaks, not to mention problems with airflow in and out of your flue. Beyond that, flue tiles can become worn and eventually break off. Chimney liners, in the form of stainless-steel inserts, are one way to repair this problem.
Several types of chimney masonry repair
We may uncover other problems during our inspection. Your chimney crown plays a vital role in keeping water from running down the length of your masonry. In addition, brick-and-mortar materials are porous, which can lead to gaps and cracks in your chimney.
These are examples of problems that we can fix with chimney masonry repair. Fixing a crown is imperative to keep water from causing further damage. Tuckpointing repairs problems with your mortar joints before they lead to bigger issues. And after completing all of these, we always recommend waterproofing to minimize the problem from recurring.
