What chimneys face in the 218 area
Geographically, 218 covers northern Minnesota, from Duluth and the Iron Range to Brainerd, Bemidji and Moorhead. It is an old housing stock: of about 436,000 homes and apartments, roughly 56% were built before 1980 and 17% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 77% are single-family detached houses.
Heating season runs long. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Duluth, MN show about 9,115 heating degree days a year, a January average of 11.2°F, and about 90.2 inches of snow. Those freeze-thaw cycles slowly break down masonry. A cracked crown, spalling brick or a missing cap lets water in, and water is what does the most damage to a chimney.
By Census count, about 39% of households heat mainly with utility gas and about 25% with propane. Wood is the main heat in about 5.8%, one of the higher shares in the country, so many chimneys here see heavy use and creosote builds up quickly. It sits in IECC climate zone 7NA (77%), 6A (23%). Wood, gas or oil, the NFPA 211 standard says chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected once a year.
