What kinds of chimneys do Fairway homes have?
Brick masonry chimneys, almost without exception. About 81 percent of Fairway homes were built before 1960, most of them in the 1940s and 1950s, and the median year built is 1950. Nearly all of the city’s roughly 1,800 housing units, about 96 percent, are detached single-family houses. About one in ten homes has been built since 2000, on lots where older houses once stood.

What should Fairway homeowners watch for?
- Flashing: the seal between chimney and roof is the most common leak point on an older house, and it is often disturbed when the roof is replaced.
- Original liners and dampers: clay tiles and cast-iron dampers from the 1940s and 1950s are past 70 years old.
- Heat loss: an open masonry fireplace with a damper that no longer seals lets warm air out of the house all winter.
- Newer houses on older lots: gas fireplaces and long dryer vent runs still need a yearly check.

Should the chimney be checked when the roof is replaced?
Yes. Roofers remove and replace the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, and that joint is the most common source of chimney leaks. A new roof is also the easiest time to repair the crown, fit a cap and repoint worn mortar joints, because the chimney is already being worked around.
Do glass fireplace doors help?
They help when the fire is dying down or out. Closed doors stop the chimney from pulling heated room air up the flue overnight. While a wood fire is burning hot, most manufacturers say to keep the doors open. Doors do not replace a working damper.
