Chimney care in the 573 area
Winters around Columbia, Jefferson City and Cape Girardeau 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 551,600 homes and apartments in the 573 territory. 47.9% were built before 1980 and 8.9% before 1940, lower than the Missouri figure of 54.1% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1980s, and 70.3% of homes are single-family detached houses.

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.
