Chimney care in the 570 area
Long heating seasons and repeated freeze-thaw cycles are hard on masonry around Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport. 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 740,500 homes and apartments in the 570 territory. 66.4% were built before 1980 and 29.3% before 1940, close to the Pennsylvania figure of 68.4% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1960s, and 69.5% of homes are single-family detached houses.
32.2% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 26.5% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 4.5% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%, and 23.9% heat with fuel oil, whose furnaces and boilers also vent through a chimney flue.
With 29.3% 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, the territory is in climate zone 5A (cool, humid).
The 570 territory (with overlay 272) is home to roughly 1,533,000 people across 403 ZIP codes in Luzerne County, Lackawanna County, Monroe County, Schuylkill County and 17 more counties.
