Our Duct Sealing Process

1. Detailed System Evaluation

We begin with a careful inspection of your duct system to identify loose joints, deteriorated sealant, disconnected sections, and visible openings. This includes checking accessible ducts in attics, crawl spaces, and utility areas.

We also evaluate surrounding insulation and look for indicators such as moisture, dust streaks, or temperature differences that may point to hidden leaks.

2. Airflow & Leak Testing

Next, we take airflow readings and assess pressure levels to measure how much air is being lost and where reductions occur. These readings help guide the sealing process and provide an accurate picture of how air is moving through your system.

3. Sealing Joints & Gaps

Once problem areas are identified, we apply professional-grade sealants designed for long-term adhesion. These materials are placed around seams, joints, and other vulnerable areas. Older duct systems may require reinforcement in certain sections to help support even airflow.

4. Final Check for Airflow Balance

After sealing is complete, we review airflow at various supplies and return vents. This final step helps confirm that air is moving more consistently throughout your home. Many homeowners notice smoother airflow and more balanced temperatures shortly after this stage.

Importance of Duct Sealing

When gaps or weakened sections allow air to escape into attics, wall cavities, or crawl spaces, the system has to work harder to deliver comfort. Over time, this can lead to temperature variations from room to room, higher energy usage, and humidity changes that are difficult to control. Dust or small particles may also enter the system more easily, affecting the air that circulates through your living areas. These shifts often appear slowly, making them easy to overlook until comfort noticeably changes. Sealing the ductwork helps limit this air loss.

How to Know When You Have Leaks

Duct leaks often become noticeable through everyday changes in comfort and airflow. You might find that some rooms never reach the temperature you're aiming for, or that the air coming from your vents feels weaker than it once did. Dust may return quickly even after cleaning, and a musty or stale odor can sometimes move through the vents. Your HVAC system may need to run longer to maintain the same comfort level, and energy bills may increase unexpectedly. When these patterns appear, a duct sealing service can help determine where the loss is occurring.

What Causes Leaky Ducts?

The temperature changes. Shifting temperatures cause duct materials to expand and contract, loosening connections.
Aging materials. Older sealants and installation tapes naturally weaken over time.
Pests or wildlife. Rodents or insects can disturb insulation or duct surfaces, creating small openings.
Poor initial installation. Unsupported duct runs or weak connections may sag or pull apart.
High humidity. Moisture can weaken older duct materials, especially in warmer areas of the home.

Helpful Tips After Sealing

After your ducts are sealed, a few simple habits can help maintain consistent airflow:

Replace HVAC filters regularly
Keep vents unobstructed
Schedule seasonal maintenance
Monitor airflow and odors for changes
Check attics or crawl spaces for moisture or shifting insulation
