Chimney Sweep in Lenexa, KS

What kinds of chimneys do Lenexa homes have?

A mix, because most Lenexa homes were built from the 1970s onward. The 1970s and the 1980s each account for about 20 percent of the city’s housing, and about 40 percent has been built since 2000. Only about 8 percent predates 1970, and the median year built is 1992. The 1970s and 1980s left both masonry chimneys and factory-built fireplaces; the newer homes mostly have gas fireplaces.

Only about 56 percent of Lenexa’s roughly 25,750 housing units are detached single-family homes. The rest are apartments, townhomes and other attached housing, which matters for dryer vents. The older part of the city is in the east, around Old Town Lenexa, and newer neighborhoods extend to the west.

What should Lenexa homeowners watch for?

• Homes from the 1970s and 1980s: the fireplace could be either masonry or factory-built, and the two are maintained differently. The FAQ below explains how to tell which you have.
• Townhomes and condos: dryer vents usually run farther and often exit through the roof, so lint builds up sooner than in a detached house.
• Homes built since 2000: gas fireplace vents need a yearly check, and long dryer vent runs in two-story homes need regular cleaning.
