Chimney care in the 609 area
Long heating seasons and repeated freeze-thaw cycles are hard on masonry around Trenton, Princeton and Egg Harbor Township. 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 556,500 homes and apartments in the 609 territory. 55% were built before 1980 and 14.6% before 1940, lower than the New Jersey figure of 64.3% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 58.6% of homes are single-family detached houses.
70.7% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 17.5% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.6% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%, and 7.2% heat with fuel oil, whose furnaces and boilers also vent through a chimney flue.
Most homes here are more than 40 years old, so original flue liners, mortar joints and chimney crowns have seen decades of weather. An annual inspection catches wear before it becomes a repair.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, 65% of residents live in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid), and the rest mostly in 5A (cool, humid).
The 609 territory (with overlay 640) is home to roughly 1,149,000 people across 123 ZIP codes in Mercer County, Atlantic County, Burlington County, Ocean County and 5 more counties.
