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

Waterproofing & Cap Replacement

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.

Chimney Waterproofing in New Orleans

A century-old New Orleans chimney has absorbed more water than most chimneys ever will. Soft historic brick and lime mortar take on the city’s 60-plus inches of annual rain, and hard modern patches often make it worse by trapping moisture. We waterproof with breathable penetrating sealants matched to older masonry, repoint with the original joints in mind, and rebuild crowns that have washed down to rubble — the right order for houses that have stood for a century.

Chimney Caps in New Orleans

Historic New Orleans flues are rarely standard sizes, which is why generic caps fail here so often. We measure and fit stainless-steel caps to older masonry — including multi-flue caps for the double chimneys common in Uptown and Mid-City — so rain stays off century-old brickwork and swifts stay out of flues that have vented since the 1900s. Most cap installs complete in under an hour.
