Chimney care in the 607 area
Long heating seasons and repeated freeze-thaw cycles are hard on masonry around Binghamton, Ithaca and Elmira. 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 358,300 homes and apartments in the 607 territory. 70.3% were built before 1980 and 30.7% before 1940, close to the New York figure of 75.4% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1960s, and 63.9% of homes are single-family detached houses.
46.1% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 16.5% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 6.7% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%, and 15.1% heat with fuel oil, whose furnaces and boilers also vent through a chimney flue.
With 30.7% 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. Wood heat is common in this area. Homes that burn wood as their main heat build creosote faster than occasional fireplace users, so plan on more frequent cleaning.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, 82% of residents live in climate zone 5A (cool, humid), and the rest mostly in 6A (cold, humid).
The 607 territory is home to roughly 737,000 people across 206 ZIP codes in Broome County, Tompkins County, Steuben County, Chemung County and 10 more counties.
