Common Ductwork Problems We Repair
Most ductwork problems are fixable without full replacement. Here’s what we commonly find and repair.
Leaky Ducts
The most common ductwork problem. Gaps, holes, and poor connections at joints let conditioned air escape before it reaches your rooms. Sealing these leaks can dramatically improve airflow and comfort.
Disconnected Sections
Ducts can separate over time — especially in attics and crawl spaces. A disconnected duct means air is heating or cooling your attic instead of your home. We reconnect and secure them properly.
Restricted or Crushed Ducts
Flexible ducts can get crushed or kinked during construction or over time. Restricted airflow starves rooms of conditioned air. We identify and fix restrictions.
Noisy Ducts
Popping, rattling, and whistling sounds come from ducts under stress, poor support, or improper sizing. We secure, support, and adjust ducts to reduce noise.
Poor Insulation
Uninsulated or poorly insulated ducts in unconditioned spaces lose significant energy. We insulate ducts in attics, crawl spaces, and basements to improve efficiency.
Types of Ductwork Repairs
The right repair depends on what we find. Here’s how the common repair types compare.
Duct Sealing
Sealing leaks at joints, connections, and seams with mastic, tape, or aerosol-based sealants. The most common and cost-effective ductwork repair — can significantly improve airflow and comfort.
Great for leaky ducts, weak airflow, and uneven temperatures.
Reconnection & Support
Reconnecting detached sections, re-supporting sagging ducts, and securing loose connections. Restores airflow to rooms that aren't getting enough air.
Good for disconnected ducts, sagging ducts, and airflow loss.
Insulation Repair
Adding or replacing insulation on ducts in unconditioned spaces — attics, crawl spaces, basements. Reduces energy loss and improves comfort.
Good for ducts in attics or crawl spaces that are uninsulated.
Rerouting & Resizing
Rerouting ducts that are crushed, kinked, or poorly placed, or replacing undersized sections. More involved than sealing but less than full replacement.
Best for crushed, kinked, or undersized ducts.

Ductwork Repair Questions
How do I know if my ducts need repair?
Common signs include weak airflow in certain rooms, uneven temperatures, noisy ducts, visible gaps or damage, and excessive dust. If you’ve had equipment serviced or replaced and still have comfort issues, leaky or damaged ducts are a likely cause.
Can you seal ducts without replacing them?
Yes. Duct sealing is the most common ductwork repair. We seal leaks at joints, connections, and seams using mastic, specialized tape, or aerosol-based sealants — depending on the location and type of duct. Most ducts don’t need full replacement.
How much air am I losing through leaky ducts?
According to the Department of Energy, in a typical home, about 20–30% of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. That’s air you’re paying to heat or cool but never reaching your rooms.
Will repairing my ducts lower my energy bills?
Sealing leaks and improving ductwork can help reduce energy waste, since more of your conditioned air reaches your rooms instead of escaping into your attic or crawl space. The actual savings depend on how leaky your ducts are and your home.
How long does ductwork repair take?
Most repairs can be completed in a few hours to a day, depending on the scope. Sealing leaks in accessible ducts is relatively quick; repairs in tight spaces or that involve rerouting ducts take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate upfront.
How much does ductwork repair cost?
It depends on the type and scope of the repair. Sealing a few leaks is very different from rerouting ducts. We offer free consultations and will give you upfront pricing before any work starts — with no obligation.
