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.
Leakage gets measured with a duct blaster test.
The inspection covers attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls.
What we use is meant to last, not just look sealed on day one.
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.
We measure leakage, then seal every joint with mastic rather than tape.
Instead of the intended room.
We measure and correct pressure with damper adjustment or resizing where needed.
Especially in unconditioned spaces.
Rodent damage to ducts is more common than people realize.
An undersized trunk or poorly routed branch can bottleneck airflow.
Four steps to airflow that actually reaches every room.
Describe the comfort issue and we schedule an assessment.
A tech shows up with testing equipment ready to go.
Measurement before the quote.
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
Common questions before a Ductwork Repair assessment.
A duct blaster test gives the real number.
Mastic sealant is what actually holds up for the long haul.
Before it reaches a room.
It is more than cosmetic — chewed insulation and punctured duct walls both leak air and can pull contaminants into circulation.
The fix gets done the same day we find the problem, in most cases.
Most sealing jobs wrap up in a few hours.
Yes, we photograph damage before repair specifically for situations like this.
We will flag anything unusual before starting.
Standard duct work has no bearing on your unit's warranty.
