Chimney care in the 509 area
Around Spokane, Yakima and Kennewick, months of steady rain are the biggest threat to a chimney. Moss and moisture break down crowns and mortar, and water finds its way in at the flashing. Wood that is not fully seasoned in damp weather also builds creosote faster, so annual sweeps matter for regular burners.
The Census Bureau counts about 677,200 homes and apartments in the 509 territory. 51.8% were built before 1980 and 11.5% before 1940, higher than the Washington figure of 45.1% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 66.2% of homes are single-family detached houses.
61.2% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 29.5% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 4.7% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%.
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. Cold winters mean freeze-thaw cycles: water that gets into brick, mortar and the crown expands when it freezes. A sound cap and crown keep that water out.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 5B (cool, dry).
The 509 territory is home to roughly 1,692,000 people across 257 ZIP codes in Spokane County, Yakima County, Benton County, Franklin County and 17 more counties.
