What kinds of chimneys do Gardner homes have?
Mostly factory-built and gas fireplaces, because Gardner is one of the newest cities in the area. About 61 percent of its homes were built in 2000 or later, and another 24 percent in the 1980s and 1990s. Only about 15 percent date from before 1980, so traditional brick chimneys are the exception here. The median year built is 2003. The city had about 24,000 residents in 2023 and is still growing.

| 1980s and 1990s | About 24% |
| 2000 or later | About 61% |
What should Gardner homeowners watch for?
- Chase covers: on a factory-built chimney, the metal cover on top of the chase is the first part to rust and leak.
- Dryer vents: newer two-story homes often have long vent runs, and construction lint and debris can restrict them from the start.
- Ducts in recently built homes: drywall dust and sawdust can be left in the ductwork after construction.
- The older homes: a pre-1980 house with a brick chimney needs the same liner and crown checks as any older masonry chimney.

What is a chase cover, and why does it matter on newer homes?
A chase cover is the metal lid on top of the framed, sided box that surrounds a factory-built chimney. It does the job a concrete crown does on a brick chimney. Galvanized steel covers rust through after some years, and the first sign is often rust stains down the siding or water inside the firebox.
Should a recently built Gardner home have its air ducts checked?
It is worth a look. Drywall dust, sawdust and scraps often end up in the ducts while a house is being built, especially if the system ran during construction. The EPA recommends duct cleaning when ducts are clogged with dust and debris, so check a few registers and the return before deciding.
