Chimney care in the 502 area
Around Louisville, Georgetown and Frankfort, chimneys see both humid summers and freezing winters. Summer humidity can make a fireplace smell of creosote, and winter freeze-thaw cycles open up crowns and mortar joints. Chimney swifts nest in many open flues from spring to fall, so book cap installs and sweeps for after they leave.
The Census Bureau counts about 536,700 homes and apartments in the 502 territory. 55.1% were built before 1980 and 11.6% before 1940, higher than the Kentucky figure of 48.6% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 69.1% of homes are single-family detached houses.
51.1% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 43.6% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.7% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
Most homes here are more than 40 years old, so original flue liners, mortar joints and chimney crowns have seen decades of weather. An annual inspection catches wear before it becomes a repair.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid).
The 502 territory is home to roughly 1,236,000 people across 138 ZIP codes in Jefferson County, Oldham County, Bullitt County, Scott County and 10 more counties.
