Chimney care in the 201 area
Long heating seasons and repeated freeze-thaw cycles are hard on masonry around Jersey City, Bayonne and Union City. Water that soaks into a cracked crown or open mortar joint freezes, expands and breaks brick apart (spalling), and nor'easter rain drives water in at the flashing. An annual inspection before the first cold snap catches crown cracks and creosote build-up from a winter of wood burning.
The Census Bureau counts about 582,200 homes and apartments in the 201 territory. 69.6% were built before 1980 and 25.5% before 1940, higher than the New Jersey figure of 64.3% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1960s, and 30.9% of homes are single-family detached houses.
71.9% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 19.9% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 25.5% 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, 51% of residents live in climate zone 5A (cool, humid), and the rest mostly in 4A (mixed, humid).
