Duct Sealing Services
Duct sealing is when our technicians apply professional-grade mastic tape onto the breaches and cracks in your ductwork. This mastic is comprised of an epoxy used to seal leaks once dry. It’s pliable enough to deal with temperature fluctuations without cracking, yet strong enough to effectively do its job.
One of the most common misconceptions homeowners have about store-bought duct tape is that it is efficient enough to seal HVAC air ducts. This is unfortunately not the case, and this type of duct tape should never be used for a job of this caliber. Regulation duct tape is something that our professionals have access to, however this type of tape has a layer of metallic material that’s used to help seal leaks more effectively.

Many homeowners don’t realize just how susceptible their air ducts are to leaks. Whether they were installed incorrectly to begin with, or sustained damage due to faulty repairs, there are a number of reasons for breaches. Individual ductwork leaks are typically small, but that adds up and can make a small problem much worse.
