Oil, gas and wood have all heated Upland homes over the decades, and many chimneys carry a flue for each era - some lined, some tired, some quietly cracked. We sort out what you actually have, on camera, before recommending any work to you at all.
Your information is kept private and used only for your chimney service request.
The six services Upland homeowners call us for most - from a flue heavy with a winter of creosote, to mortar opened by hard freeze-thaw. Everything on this page is chimney in Upland, PA — the work, the local conditions and the coverage.
Sweep & Cleaning
Chimney Sweep
The full professional sweep: rotary brushes scrub the flue from top to bottom while a HEPA vacuum keeps every speck of soot sealed in — the visit that keeps a chimney safe to burn in. In Upland, the sweep includes a full look at tiles and mortar, because a hard winter finds every weak joint in the flue.

Sweep & Cleaning
Chimney Cleaning
In Upland, that means a full season of creosote from nightly fires, removed down to the tile instead of left glazed on the walls. Creosote, soot and ash removed from the flue, smoke shelf and firebox — the deep clean that kills the campfire smell and the fire risk with it. It is why chimney cleaning in Upland, PA keeps getting recommended to neighbors.

Chimney Cap Installation
A quality stainless cap keeps rain, birds and sparks where they belong. Fitted to your flue, secured properly, and screened against animals. Where salt air reaches the coast, stainless is the metal that survives; we will say plainly if a lesser cap will not. That local standard is what chimney cap installation in Upland, PA means with Chimney Service Co.

Repair
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 Upland flue where they belong. In Upland, hard freeze-thaw is the usual cause, cracking clay tiles a few joints at a time until the gaps matter. That is chimney liner repair in Upland, PA, done the way it should be.

Winter in Upland 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 Upland, 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.
Ice dams at the roof edge push meltwater under shingles and against chimney flashing all winter in Delaware County. The leak that shows by the fireplace in February often starts at frozen flashing, not the flue - and it returns every thaw until it is fixed.
Coastal storms drive rain and wet snow sideways at Upland chimney tops, tear at caps and soak crowns that are already cracked by freeze-thaw. After a big storm, the cap, crown and flashing all deserve a look before the next fire gets lit.
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 Delaware 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 Upland 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 Upland 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.
Often ice and flashing working together: ice dams push meltwater against the chimney, flashing loosened by freeze-thaw lets it in, and saturated brick passes it through to the wall. The stain shows by the fireplace, but the repair belongs at the roofline and the crown, in that order.
Late summer or early fall, before heating season. Every neglected chimney in Delaware 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.
