Chimney care in the 612 area
Winters around Minneapolis 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 212,700 homes and apartments in the 612 territory. 74.7% were built before 1980 and 40.8% before 1940, higher than the Minnesota figure of 53.3% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1950s, and 42.5% of homes are single-family detached houses.
72.9% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 22.3% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.2% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 40.8% 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.
