Homes from Rivertown to the lakefront
Kenner neighborhoods range from older homes near Rivertown and the river levee to brick slab homes in Chateau Estates and the lakefront subdivisions north of Veterans. Two-story homes and raised houses near the lake stand out on flat ground. See residential lightning protection.
Airport-area warehouses and commercial roofs
The area around Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is full of warehouses, hotels, freight buildings, and offices with long flat roofs. We design terminals along edges and rooftop units and keep down conductors out of dock and truck areas. See commercial lightning protection.
Churches and schools
Parish churches and schools in Kenner and nearby St. Rose and Destrehan have tall steeples and gyms that need to be planned as one system with the main building. See church and steeple lightning protection.

Ground & Weather
Ground and weather conditions in Jefferson Parish
Kenner runs from the Mississippi River levee north to Lake Pontchartrain. The higher ground near the river is siltier natural-levee soil; north toward the lake, the land drops into soft clay and old marsh with a very shallow water table. Ground rods usually drive easily here, and we plan for wet, sometimes corrosive soil when we choose materials.
Storms off Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf regularly cross Kenner in summer, and big tropical systems such as Ida in 2021 hit the area and the river parishes to the west hard. Wide warehouse and hotel roofs near the airport and raised homes near the lake are among the most exposed buildings.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

FAQ
Kenner lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve St. Rose, Destrehan, and Luling?
Yes. We serve Kenner and nearby St. Charles Parish, including St. Rose, Destrehan, Norco, and Luling. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect a warehouse near the airport?
Yes. We design around the roof, equipment, and docks. See commercial lightning protection.
Do you inspect existing lightning rods?
Yes. We check every air terminal, cable, connection, and ground rod and give you a clear list of repairs. Coastal and wet-ground systems in Jefferson Parish are worth checking every few years. See lightning protection inspection.
Can you work on large commercial projects near the airport?
Yes. We price the lightning protection part of commercial and warehouse projects, work from drawings when you have them, and coordinate with the general contractor and site requirements. See commercial lightning protection.
Lightning struck my house in Kenner. What should I do now?
Get out and call 911 if there is smoke or fire; lightning fires can start out of sight in the attic. Even with no visible damage, it is smart to have the fire department or an electrician check things over. Call your insurance agent and keep photos and receipts. Once the house is safe, we can come out to Kenner, look at where the strike hit, and plan protection so a future strike is carried to ground instead of through the house.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Kenner?
The size and shape of the roof, how tall the building is, how many chimneys and roof peaks it has, and how many separate buildings you want covered drive most of the cost. Wet, sandy, or shell-filled ground can change the grounding work. We look at the property and give you a free written estimate before any work starts.
Do lightning rods attract lightning?
No. Lightning goes where it goes; a protection system just controls what happens when it arrives. Air terminals on the roof catch the strike, and conductors and ground rods carry it to earth so it does less harm to the building.
Does lightning protection help with insurance?
Policies differ, so check with your agent before you count on a discount. What we can do is give you a written record of what was installed and where, which is useful for your insurer and for anyone who inspects the system later.
