Chimney Sweep in Mission, KS

What kinds of chimneys do Mission homes have?

Mission’s houses mostly have brick masonry chimneys, because the 1950s were its biggest decade, with about 28 percent of the city’s housing. Building continued steadily through the 1980s, and the median year built is 1972. Mission is also unusual for the area in how much of it is not houses: only about 46 percent of its roughly 5,700 housing units are detached single-family homes.

What should Mission residents watch for?

• 1950s houses: a chimney of that age needs its flue tiles, crown and mortar joints checked, and many were built without a cap.
• Apartments, condos and townhomes: dryer vents in multi-unit buildings run longer and are easy to overlook. Slow drying or a hot laundry closet is the sign to report.
• Uncapped chimneys: open flues attract birds and animals, which block the flue and bring in nesting material.
