Orleans Parish · Southshore
New Orleans housing stock is unusually varied for a single city: century-old shotguns and doubles, raised centre-hall homes, mid-century ranch builds in Lakeview and Gentilly, and a large number of houses that have been renovated more than once. Duct systems get added, extended and rerouted through that history, and the joints created along the way are exactly where conditioned air escapes.
Duct Daddy measures duct leakage before proposing any work, seals what can be sealed, and tests again so the change is documented rather than described. See how the process works.
What we see in New Orleans
These are patterns, not diagnoses. Your system gets measured before anything is proposed.
Homes built long before central air often carry ductwork that was threaded through closets, soffits, chases and attic knee spaces after the fact. Those runs tend to have more fittings, more transitions and more opportunities to leak than a system designed with the house.
Where the duct system or return path runs beneath a raised floor, leakage can pull humid outdoor air straight into the system. That shows up as a house that feels damp even while the equipment runs.
Additions, kitchen reconfigurations and converted attics frequently mean a branch was tapped in or relocated. We measure the whole system rather than assuming the newest section is the problem.
An uninsulated New Orleans attic in August is a punishing place for a duct run. Air lost there is replaced by air pulled from that same space.
