Chimney care in the 504 area
Around New Orleans, Metairie and Kenner, high humidity, heavy rain and tropical-storm winds are the main threats to a chimney. Water gets in through crowns, caps and flashing, rusts metal chase covers and dampers, and can lead to musty fireplace odors. Fireplaces are used less often, so nests and debris often go unnoticed. Dryer vents work hard all year, which makes regular lint removal important.
The Census Bureau counts about 416,500 homes and apartments in the 504 territory. 68.4% were built before 1980 and 16.7% before 1940, higher than the Louisiana figure of 48.2% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 56.3% of homes are single-family detached houses.
58.1% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 40.5% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 16.7% of homes built before 1940, many chimneys here are older masonry. Older flues can be unlined or have clay tile liners that have cracked over the years, which a camera inspection of the flue will show.
