Chimney Service in New Orleans
New Orleans presents a chimney-service environment unlike any other in the ARC footprint. The city sits below sea level in several neighborhoods, surrounded by levees, and experiences a subtropical climate with 60-plus inches of annual rainfall, high humidity year-round, and significant hurricane exposure. Unlike most of the Gulf coast, New Orleans also has a large stock of historic older homes — Creole cottages, Shotguns, Camelbacks, and Greek Revivals — many with original masonry chimneys that have been in continuous use for a century or more. The combination of high humidity, age, and episodic severe weather means New Orleans chimneys typically require more frequent inspection and more extensive waterproofing attention than markets further north.
What New Orleans Homeowners Need Most
With century-old masonry chimneys and 60-plus inches of annual rain, New Orleans needs more frequent waterproofing and inspection than markets further north. Sealing aging brick and repairing crowns is the core preventive work here.
