Even a good furnace or AC can't overcome ductwork losing air. Measurement replaces assumption on every visit.
Matteson 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.
What every duct assessment includes.
Leakage gets measured with a duct blaster test.
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.
The most common duct problems we find and correct.
Testing comes before sealing.
Instead of the intended room.
We measure and correct pressure with damper adjustment or resizing where needed.
Especially in unconditioned spaces.
Wasting air and introducing contamination.
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
Common questions before a Ductwork Repair assessment.
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.
Sealing, insulation work, and resizing all happen in one appointment, not split across separate visits.
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.
No, duct sealing is separate from equipment warranty coverage and does not affect it.
