Flooring for Hammond rentals and student housing
Hammond's master plan says the city was mostly single-family homes for many of its formative years, and from the 1980s apartment complexes went up to house students as Southeastern expanded. Census figures now put owner occupancy at 46.0%, so more than half of occupied homes here are rented. Our apartment and condominium flooring page covers multifamily work in more depth.
Floors for unit turnovers
For units that change tenants every year, ask for a floor you can repair one plank or tile at a time and clean quickly between leases.

How it works
How Hammond's creeks and floodplains affect floor choices
The City says Hammond drains into Ponchatoula Creek, the Yellow Water River and Selsers Creek, and that its rivers and floodplains periodically rise and damage property. The master plan adds that Ponchatoula Creek and the Yellow Water River feed the Natalbany River, a tributary of the Tickfaw, and that all of these watersheds drain into Lake Maurepas in the Lake Pontchartrain Basin.
- 01
The August 2016 flood
The National Weather Service recorded record flooding in August 2016 in the Natalbany and Tickfaw river basins, which Ponchatoula Creek and the Yellow Water River feed, and says that storm flooded thousands of homes and businesses across parts of the Hammond and Baton Rouge areas.
- 02
Floors for ground-level rooms
FEMA suggests that owners in flood-prone areas consider replacing wood floorboards and carpet with tile, vinyl, rubber or other flood-resistant materials. Its materials bulletin accepts vinyl glued to a slab with chemical-set adhesive, which fits ground-level rooms near any of Hammond's streams.
- 03
Big repairs and the 50% rule
On a large renovation or flood repair, FEMA counts floor finishes when the community decides whether the work is a substantial improvement. Check with the City of Hammond or Tangipahoa Parish before you start.
Older floors in downtown Hammond
The City Council created the Hammond Historic District in 1978, covering most of downtown, and parts of downtown were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Price a refinish first
Original wood that's still sound can be sanded and refinished. See hardwood floor refinishing.
Check under raised floors
NWFA notes that unconditioned crawl spaces run more humid than the rooms above, so wood over a raised floor gets a subfloor moisture check.
Level before you lay
Older floors that have settled get leveled before a new floor goes on top.
