FAQ
How do I know if my ducts are leaking?
Common signs include uneven temperatures room to room, higher bills than expected, dust buildup, or musty odors when the system runs. A pressure test gives a definitive answer rather than guessing.
Does duct sealing help with mold-sensitive homes?
Yes — leaky return ducts are one of the most common hidden contamination paths, pulling unconditioned air (and whatever's in it) directly into your living space. Sealing is often one of the first things we check as part of a mold/CIRS-aware assessment.
Sealing that's verified with pressure numbers, not promises
Leaky ducts are a double theft: conditioned air you paid for escaping into the attic, and attic or crawlspace air — hot, dusty, sometimes contaminated — getting pulled into your home through leaky returns. Sealing fixes both, but only if it's actually done: our work uses mastic on accessible connections, addresses the return side most companies skip, and offers before-and-after static pressure testing so 'we sealed it' comes with numbers attached. The honest boundary: sealing rescues duct systems in decent structural shape. Material that's collapsed, undersized, or contaminated needs replacement, not caulk — and our inspection will tell you with photos which situation your ductwork is actually in.
