Leaky or damaged ductwork in a Ogilvie attic or crawl space can waste a large share of conditioned air before it reaches a vent. Measurement replaces assumption on every visit.
Ogilvie 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.
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.
The most common duct problems we find and correct.
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.
Damaged insulation leads to condensation and wasted energy.
Wasting air and introducing contamination.
An undersized trunk or poorly routed branch can bottleneck airflow.
What to expect.
Tell us what's off.
A tech shows up with testing equipment ready to go.
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
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.
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.
Sealing, insulation work, and resizing all happen in one appointment, not split across separate visits.
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.
