Leaky or damaged ductwork in a Cambridge attic or crawl space can waste a large share of conditioned air before it reaches a vent. We test static pressure and leakage directly rather than guessing based on appearance on every visit.
Cambridge homeowners often assume duct problems when comfort is off but equipment seems fine, and they're often right — disconnected sections and torn insulation are common in attics and crawl spaces. 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.
Not just visible sections.
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.
Testing comes before sealing.
Instead of the intended room.
We measure and correct pressure with damper adjustment or resizing where needed.
Damaged insulation leads to condensation and wasted energy.
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.
Tell us what's off.
No separate visit needed.
We measure first and explain findings, then quote a flat-rate repair.
We re-test after the repair before leaving to confirm airflow improved.
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.
Uneven rooms, high bills, or dust near vents are common signs.
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.
Longer for extensive resizing.
Yes, we photograph damage before repair specifically for situations like this.
We will flag anything unusual before starting.
No, duct sealing is separate from equipment warranty coverage and does not affect it.
