Chimney care in the 641 area
Winters around Marshalltown, Ottumwa and Mason City mean long, heavy heating seasons and deep freeze-thaw cycles. Wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces that run for months build creosote quickly, and ice and snow load test crowns, caps and flashing. Plan an inspection and sweep in late summer or early fall, before the busy season starts.
The Census Bureau counts about 217,500 homes and apartments in the 641 territory. 73.7% were built before 1980 and 31.9% before 1940, higher than the Iowa figure of 63.2% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1960s, and 80.8% of homes are single-family detached houses.
53.1% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 21.9% with bottled, tank or LP gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 2.5% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 31.9% 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.
