What chimneys face in the 401 area
Geographically, 401 covers all of Rhode Island, from Providence, Pawtucket, Cranston and Warwick around Narragansett Bay to Newport and the South County shore. It is an old housing stock: of about 483,000 homes and apartments, roughly 72% were built before 1980 and 31% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1960s. About 55% are single-family detached houses.
Providence is the capital and most populous city of Rhode Island and the third most populous city in New England, with 190,934 people at the 2020 census. It is the seat of Providence County, and its metropolitan area, about 1.7 million people, reaches into Massachusetts.
Heating season runs long. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Providence T F Green Airport, RI show about 5,478 heating degree days a year, a January average of 30.2°F, and about 36.6 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 54% of households heat mainly with utility gas and about 28% with heating oil. Wood is the main heat in fewer than 2 in 100 homes, so most fireplaces here are for cool evenings, and gas fireplaces and inserts are common. An oil-fired boiler or furnace also needs a sound, clean flue, since soot and scale build up over a heating season. 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.
