Chimney care in the 512 area
Around Austin, Round Rock and Georgetown, 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 981,200 homes and apartments in the 512 territory. 21.6% were built before 1980 and 2.1% before 1940, lower than the Texas figure of 35.6% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1990s, and 59.6% of homes are single-family detached houses.
56.5% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 38.8% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.2% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
48.1% 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).
The 512 territory (with overlay 737) is home to roughly 2,473,000 people across 134 ZIP codes in Travis County, Williamson County, Hays County, Bastrop County and 7 more counties.
