Chimney care in the 313 area
Winters around Detroit, Grosse Pointe and Melvindale mean long, heavy heating seasons and deep freeze-thaw cycles. Wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces that run for months build creosote quickly, and ice and snow load test crowns, caps and flashing. Plan an inspection and sweep in late summer or early fall, before the busy season starts.
The Census Bureau counts about 334,100 homes and apartments in the 313 territory. 90.1% were built before 1980 and 34.6% before 1940, higher than the Michigan figure of 62.9% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1940s, and 65.7% of homes are single-family detached houses.
84% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 13.2% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.2% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 34.6% of homes built before 1940, many chimneys here are older masonry. Older flues can be unlined or have clay tile liners that have cracked over the years, which a camera inspection of the flue will show.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 5A (cool, humid).
The 313 territory (with overlay 679) is home to roughly 670,000 people across 50 ZIP codes in Wayne County.
