Duct Repair & Sealing

Duct Repair & Sealing done thoroughly, by the owner

Many duct problems are found during cleaning: a flex duct pulled off its boot, foil tape that has peeled away, or a crushed section in the attic. Each one lets air escape and lets dust in.

Common signs are rooms that never get as warm or cool as the rest, higher energy bills and dust that keeps returning. We show you photos of any damage and give repair options before doing any work.

Call (310) 361-9813 any time; the phone is answered 24/7, and appointments run every day from 6 AM to 8 PM.

Why sealing matters near the coast

Leaky return ducts pull air from attics, crawl spaces and garages, which brings in dust, insulation fibers and, in coastal homes, humid salt air. Sealing the returns is one of the best ways to keep the system cleaner.

Sealing also helps rooms at the end of long duct runs get the airflow they need.

How it works

What to expect

Every job follows the same careful steps.

  1. Inspect

    We look inside the registers, returns and accessible duct runs and show you photos of what we find before quoting.

  2. Protect

    Floors, furniture and the area around each vent are covered before any equipment comes inside.

  3. Connect the vacuum

    A high-powered vacuum is connected to the system so loosened dust is pulled out, not pushed into your rooms.

  4. Brush and clean

    Rotary brushes and air whips work through each supply and return run, boot and register.

  5. Fix what is needed

    Loose connections, torn tape or damaged sections we find are pointed out, with repair options before any extra work.

  6. Walk through the results

    You see before-and-after photos, and we answer every question before we leave.

Questions

Questions we hear often

How do I know if my ducts are leaking?

Uneven room temperatures, weak airflow at some vents, dust returning quickly and higher energy bills are common signs. An inspection confirms it.

Do you replace damaged duct sections?

Yes. We replace crushed or torn runs and reattach loose connections.

Should ducts be cleaned before sealing?

Yes. We clean first, so seals stick to clean surfaces and debris is not trapped inside.

Do you install new ductwork?

We repair and replace sections of existing ductwork. For a full system replacement, we will tell you honestly if that is what your home needs.
