Chimney care in the 228 area
Chimneys around Gulfport, Biloxi and Ocean Springs 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 174,000 homes and apartments in the 228 territory. 38.7% were built before 1980 and 2.7% before 1940, lower than the Mississippi figure of 43% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1990s, and 69.3% of homes are single-family detached houses.
79.7% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 16% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.3% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
35.2% of homes here were built in 2000 or later, so many fireplaces are factory-built or gas units. These still need their vents and manufacturer-listed parts checked, and the dryer vent runs in newer homes are often long.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 2A (hot, humid).
The 228 territory is home to roughly 392,000 people across 38 ZIP codes in Harrison County, Jackson County, Hancock County.
