Chimney care in the 985 area
Around Slidell, Houma and Covington, 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 322,300 homes and apartments in the 985 territory. 37.7% were built before 1980 and 3.3% before 1940, lower than the Louisiana figure of 48.2% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1980s, and 73% of homes are single-family detached houses.
66.2% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 30.6% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.3% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
31% of homes here were built in 2000 or later, so many fireplaces are factory-built or gas units. These still need their vents and manufacturer-listed parts checked, and the dryer vent runs in newer homes are often long.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 2A (hot, humid).
The 985 territory is home to roughly 753,000 people across 83 ZIP codes in St. Tammany Parish, Tangipahoa Parish, Terrebonne Parish, Lafourche Parish and 6 more counties.
