Ductwork
Duct sealing and repair
Leaky or disconnected ducts waste conditioned air into attics, crawlspaces and wall cavities, which leaves far rooms weak and bills high. A technician finds leaks, seals joints with mastic, reconnects runs and balances airflow.

Two-story homes in Johnson County and the Northland often run upstairs ducts through hot attics. A disconnected or crushed run there explains the bedroom that never cools.
Older homes may have undersized returns, which starve the system of air no matter how new the equipment is.

Frequently asked questions
Is duct cleaning the same as duct sealing?
