Chimney Sweep in Leawood, KS

What kinds of chimneys do Leawood homes have?

Leawood has two distinct kinds, split roughly north and south. The median home in the city was built in 1989, but that average hides a wide range. About 16 percent of homes date from before 1960, most of them 1950s houses with brick masonry chimneys in the older northern part of the city. More than a third were built in the 1980s and 1990s and about 29 percent since 2000, mostly farther south, with factory-built and gas fireplaces.

About 84 percent of Leawood’s housing is detached single-family homes.

What should Leawood homeowners watch for?

• Mid-century masonry chimneys: water is the main threat. Cracked crowns, loose flashing and worn mortar joints let rain into the brick and the flue tiles.
• Wood fireplaces converted to gas logs: the old flue is still doing the venting, so it still needs inspecting.
• Newer homes: gas fireplace vents need a yearly check, and larger floor plans mean longer dryer vent and duct runs.
