Air Duct Repair

Duct repair is different from duct cleaning, and the two get confused constantly. Cleaning removes what has accumulated inside the ducts. Repair fixes ducts that are leaking, crushed, disconnected or losing their insulation — which is a performance and cost problem rather than an air quality one, and in Florida it is a large one.

Almost all Florida residential ductwork runs through the attic, and a Florida attic reaches temperatures well above anything the system was designed to fight. A supply duct leaking there is not merely losing air — it is dumping conditioned air you paid for into a superheated space, while the return side pulls that same superheated, dusty, humid attic air back into the house. That is why a house with duct leakage often feels humid no matter what the thermostat says.

The failures are usually physical and visible once someone looks. Flex duct pulled off a boot or plenum by its own weight. A run crushed where somebody stored boxes or walked. Tape that gave up years ago — the cloth duct tape used on older installations dries out and releases, which is a genuinely common finding. Insulation torn or compressed. None of these are exotic; they are simply in a place nobody goes.
