Chimney care in the 713 area
Around Houston, Spring and Katy, mild stretches are broken up by hard freezes, and spring storms bring hail and high winds that crack crowns and damage caps. Fireplaces may sit idle for months, so check for nests and debris before the first fire, and keep dryer vents clear since they run year-round.
The Census Bureau counts about 2,430,000 homes and apartments in the 713 territory. 33.5% were built before 1980 and 2.2% before 1940, close to the Texas figure of 35.6% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1990s, and 62% of homes are single-family detached houses.
52.3% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 45.1% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.1% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
38.1% of homes here were built in 2000 or later, so many fireplaces are factory-built or gas units. These still need their vents and manufacturer-listed parts checked, and the dryer vent runs in newer homes are often long. In a humid climate, a chimney that is rarely used can still collect moisture, and that dampness mixed with creosote causes odors. A cap and a waterproofed crown help.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 2A (hot, humid).
