Oakville's older neighbourhoods near the lake — Old Oakville and Bronte — have century houses with brick chimneys exposed to the wind off Lake Ontario. Newer areas like Glen Abbey and Joshua Creek have larger homes with one or two fireplaces.
WETT inspections lead the requests from Oakville, driven by home sales and insurers, with sweeps and masonry repairs close behind.

- Chimneys near the lake take more wind and driving rain, which is hard on crowns and flashing.
