Crown Repair
The crown is the chimney's roof. When it cracks, water pours into the masonry below — so we seal and restore it.

As South Fayette has expanded, so has the number of gas and factory-built fireplaces here — systems that are convenient but far from maintenance-free. Roosevelt Chimney Works keeps Western Suburbs homes' modern fireplaces venting safely.
Because South Fayette is part of Allegheny County, its homes carry the particular mix of ages and styles that county is known for — fast-growing neighborhoods of newer construction alongside older farmhouses. South Fayette's newer homes often have prefabricated fireplaces and gas units that still need regular safety checks. That context shapes how we approach every chimney here: we read the home first, then recommend what it actually needs.
Western Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw cycles are the defining challenge for chimneys in South Fayette. Water works into small cracks in the crown, mortar, and brick, then freezes and expands through the winter, widening the damage a little more each year. Catching it early keeps a minor repair from becoming a major one.
We also serve neighboring Carnegie, Bridgeville, Scott Township and many more across Western Suburbs. Wherever you are in the Greater Pittsburgh area, Roosevelt Chimney Works can help.
