Even a good furnace or AC can't overcome ductwork losing air. We test static pressure and leakage directly rather than guessing based on appearance on every visit.
Ductwork is often the overlooked half of a comfort complaint. We inspect the full run, not just the sections near the equipment, since damage tends to hide exactly where it's hardest to see.
Measured, not assumed.
We measure rather than estimate.
The inspection covers attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls.
Every joint gets mastic and a proper mechanical fastener, never the cloth tape that peels off in a season or two.
We take a pressure reading before we start and another right after, so the improvement is a number, not a promise.
Evidence, not just our word for it.
Six issues that come up on most inspections.
Testing comes before sealing.
A crushed flex run or disconnected joint sends conditioned air straight into the attic.
We measure and correct pressure with damper adjustment or resizing where needed.
Damaged insulation leads to condensation and wasted energy.
Wasting air and introducing contamination.
Regardless of equipment quality.
What to expect.
Describe the comfort issue and we schedule an assessment.
No separate visit needed.
We measure first and explain findings, then quote a flat-rate repair.
Re-testing before we call it done.
Reviews from completed duct projects.
Landlord dispute over whether pre-existing duct damage caused a tenant's high bills. The photo documentation they provided settled the disagreement fairly for both sides.
— A. Werneke, property manager
Home theater room in the basement never got enough airflow to stay comfortable during movie nights with a full house. Found and fixed a disconnected branch line.
— C. Aldeguer, homeowner
Sourdough baking hobby means a very specific kitchen temperature matters more than most people would guess. The duct sealing evened things out enough to matter.
— T. Osayande, home baker
Insurance claim after a rodent infestation needed documentation of the actual duct damage. They provided exactly what the adjuster needed.
— R. Kowalczyk-Ibe, homeowner
Home art gallery in a converted garage needed even airflow to protect artwork from humidity swings near the exterior wall. Duct rerouting solved a problem two other companies just shrugged at.
— N. Falowo, gallery owner
What people ask before we test their ductwork.
A duct blaster test gives the real number.
That gray cloth tape everyone associates with ducts becomes brittle and peels within a season or two.
Significant leakage in attic or crawl space runs can waste a meaningful share.
Rodent damage affects performance, not just appearance.
The fix gets done the same day we find the problem, in most cases.
Longer for extensive resizing.
Documentation is standard, not a special request.
We will flag anything unusual before starting.
Standard duct work has no bearing on your unit's warranty.
