What chimneys face in the 260 area
Geographically, 260 covers northeast Indiana, from Fort Wayne and New Haven to Huntington, Auburn, Columbia City and the towns between them. It is an old housing stock: of about 312,000 homes and apartments, roughly 58% were built before 1980 and 19% 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 Ft Wayne International Airport, IN show about 5,968 heating degree days a year, a January average of 25.5°F, and about 33.6 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 60% of households heat mainly with utility gas and about 25% with electricity. Wood is the main heat in about 2%; most fireplaces here are used for comfort rather than everyday heat. It sits in IECC climate zone 5A. Wood, gas or oil, the NFPA 211 standard says chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected once a year.
