Chimney Liner Repair
Cracked tiles, gaps at the joints, a liner that is shifting — liner faults found on camera and repaired so hot gases stay inside the Crafton flue where they belong.

Winter in Crafton is long and hard, the housing stock is old, and many chimneys predate modern liner standards entirely. This is what we actually find here, and what we check on every visit.
Water enters mortar joints and crown cracks across Crafton, freezes hard, expands and pries the masonry apart a little further with every cycle. By late winter the evidence is spalling brick, open joints and leaks that were hairlines back in the fall.
Generations of Crafton homes heated with oil, then gas, and those appliance flues live inside the same chimney as the fireplace. Oil soot, acidic condensate and cracked tiles degrade those liners quietly, and a failing appliance flue is a safety problem, not a detail.
Some older Pennsylvania chimneys were built with no liner at all, and others carry liners that stop short or crack at the joints. Hot gases and sparks reach mortar and framing through those gaps, so the camera inspection comes before the first fire, not after.
A chimney fire can crack flue tiles and warp metal liners without leaving much evidence in the room - the fire burns up, not out. Any chimney in Allegheny County that has had one needs a full camera inspection before it is used again, without exception.

Serious enough to fix before another winter. Mortar is the sacrificial layer that keeps water out of the brickwork, and freeze-thaw in Pennsylvania opens failed joints fast once they start. Repointing sound brick is a repair; waiting until bricks loosen and shift turns it into a rebuild.
Usually a cold flue. A tall masonry chimney in Crafton holds heavy cold air that pushes down until a fire warms the flue, so the first minutes spill smoke. Creosote narrowing, a stuck damper or a missing cap make it worse. We check the whole path before suggesting fixes.
Yes - in many Crafton homes the furnace, boiler or water heater vents through its own flue in the shared stack, and oil and gas liners crack, soot up and block with age. A blocked appliance flue can spill exhaust indoors, so we inspect every flue in the chimney.
Late summer or early fall, before heating season. Every neglected chimney in Allegheny County seems to surface the same week in October, and that is when schedules fill. A sweep and inspection in September means your first fire is routine instead of a gamble on an unchecked flue.

No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
