Chimney Sweep in Lake Quivira, KS

What kinds of chimneys do Lake Quivira homes have?

Mostly brick and stone masonry chimneys on houses from the 1950s through the 1970s, with a quarter of the homes older still. Lake Quivira has only about 400 housing units, all of them detached single-family houses, and the median year built is 1964. About 24 percent of homes predate 1950, and the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s each account for roughly a fifth. Only about one in seven was built after 2000.

Because the community is small, the Census estimates behind these figures carry more uncertainty than for a large city; treat them as approximate.

What should Lake Quivira homeowners watch for?

• Trees overhead: wooded lots mean leaves, twigs and nesting animals find their way into an uncapped flue, and sparks leaving the chimney land on dry foliage.
• Chimneys 50 to 75 years old: clay liners, crowns and mortar joints of that age need a camera inspection to judge their condition.
• Homes used seasonally or on weekends: a fireplace that sits unused for months is where animals move in.
