Chimney care in the 215 area
Long heating seasons and repeated freeze-thaw cycles are hard on masonry around Philadelphia, Levittown and Lansdale. 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 1,324,300 homes and apartments in the 215 territory. 77.3% were built before 1980 and 29.3% before 1940, higher than the Pennsylvania figure of 68.4% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1950s, and 29.9% of homes are single-family detached houses.
61.3% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 24.7% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.3% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%, and 9.9% 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.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid).
The 215 territory (with overlays 267 and 445) is home to roughly 3,086,000 people across 213 ZIP codes in Philadelphia County, Bucks County, Montgomery County, Delaware County.
