Chimney care in the 706 area
Chimneys around Augusta, Columbus and Athens may sit unused for most of the year, which gives creosote, leaves and nests time to collect, and heavy summer storms test caps, crowns and flashing. Humidity speeds up rust on dampers and chase covers. A fall inspection before the first fire, and a cap with mesh, keep animals and water out. Dryer vents run year-round here, so lint builds up quickly.
The Census Bureau counts about 900,600 homes and apartments in the 706 territory. 38.4% were built before 1980 and 5.3% before 1940, higher than the Georgia figure of 33.3% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1980s, and 69.6% of homes are single-family detached houses.
65.5% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 22.6% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 1.5% of homes, close to the national rate of 1.5%.
