Air Duct Repair in Los Angeles
Leaky, crushed or disconnected ducts waste the air your system works to cool and heat. We find the problems and fix them.
Duct repair, run by run
Your ducts carry every bit of heated and cooled air through the attic or crawlspace. Over time connections loosen, tape fails, flex duct gets crushed or torn, and some runs come apart completely, dumping air into the attic instead of your rooms.
A duct repair starts with an inspection of the runs, plenums and registers. Our technician reconnects and supports loose runs, replaces damaged sections, and seals joints with mastic and foil tape instead of cloth duct tape.
Fixing the ducts often solves problems people blame on the equipment: weak airflow, rooms that never reach temperature, and a system that seems to run all the time.
A duct repair helps when
- Some rooms are much hotter or colder than others
- Airflow is weak at certain vents
- Your home gets dusty soon after cleaning
- You hear whistling or rattling in the ceiling
- Your ducts were disturbed during other attic work
Every duct repair includes
- Inspection of accessible runs, plenums and connections
- Loose and disconnected runs reconnected and properly supported
- Damaged sections replaced
- Joints sealed with mastic and foil tape
- Airflow checked at the registers after the repair
- Work by licensed, background-checked technicians
Honest note: if your ducts are old, undersized or damaged throughout, patching them won't last. In that case we'll recommend a duct upgrade and show you the difference in scope.
Air Duct Repair questions
How do I know if my ducts are leaking?
Uneven temperatures, weak airflow at some vents and extra dust are common signs. Our technician inspects the accessible ductwork and shows you what we find.
Can you repair ducts without replacing them all?
Yes, when the rest of the system is in reasonable shape. We repair the damaged sections and seal the joints.
Is duct tape good enough?
No. Cloth duct tape dries out and fails in attic heat. We seal joints with mastic and foil tape made for ductwork.
Will you have to open my walls?
Usually not. Most ductwork in Los Angeles homes runs through the attic or crawlspace, which is where we work.
