Common Questions
What causes stone walls or fences to shift in Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw cycles cause water to seep into stone joints, expanding when frozen. This heaves stones, leading to cracks or leaning walls. Clay soil exacerbates movement. Our stonemasons assess and rebuild with proper drainage to prevent recurrence.
How can I tell if my fireplace needs cleaning or repair?
Signs include heavy soot buildup, smoke backing into the room, strange odors, or visible cracks in the firebox. An annual inspection by our fireplace experts can identify issues early, ensuring safe operation and efficiency.
What services do you offer for converting an old fireplace to gas?
We handle full gas conversion, including installing a gas line, log set or insert, and adjusting the flue. Our team inspects the existing chimney and ensures proper ventilation. This upgrade provides instant heat and reduces maintenance.
