Chimney care in the 608 area
Winters around Madison, Janesville and La Crosse 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 577,100 homes and apartments in the 608 territory. 52.6% were built before 1980 and 16.3% before 1940, lower than the Wisconsin figure of 58.4% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 63.3% of homes are single-family detached houses.
61% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 19.6% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 3.3% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 16.3% 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. Wood heat is common in this area. Homes that burn wood as their main heat build creosote faster than occasional fireplace users, so plan on more frequent cleaning.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 5A (cool, humid).
The 608 territory (with overlay 353) is home to roughly 1,287,000 people across 221 ZIP codes in Dane County, Rock County, La Crosse County, Sauk County and 15 more counties.
