What Hammond's storms leave behind in your ducts
Tangipahoa Parish gets hit with wind more than anything else, 48 damaging wind events in the last ten years. When storms knock out power, your system stops moving air, and the dust in the house has nowhere to go but settle into the ductwork.
Louisiana households went without power for a day or more in numbers close to half in 2024. Every outage like that is a stretch where your ducts sit still and collect what's in the air. When the system starts back up, that's what blows into the rooms you're heating and cooling.

- How often should air ducts be cleaned?
- Most homes do fine with a cleaning every few years, sooner if you have pets, allergies, or just finished a renovation. Hammond has seen 48 damaging wind events over the past ten years, and storms like that push dust and debris into ductwork through vents and any gaps around the house. If you can't remember the last time yours were cleaned, that's a sign it's due.
- Is air duct cleaning worth it?
- It's worth it if your ducts are visibly dirty, you notice dust settling fast after cleaning your home, or you've had pest activity or water intrusion near the ductwork. It won't fix a duct that's leaking air or poorly sealed, that's a separate repair. A contractor can look at your actual ducts and tell you whether cleaning will make a real difference or whether the money is better spent elsewhere.
- What does air duct cleaning involve?
- A contractor connects a vacuum system to your ductwork and uses brushes or air tools to loosen dust and debris along the way, pulling it out through the vacuum rather than pushing it further into the system. Every supply and return vent gets cleaned, along with the main trunk lines. The furnace or air handler often gets attention too, since dust builds up around the blower and coil the same way it does in the ducts.
