Common Causes of Ductwork Damage
There are many issues that can lead to damage to your ductwork. A few of these issues include:- Wear and tear: Through daily use, ducts experience wear and tear due to temperature fluctuations, aging materials, and changes in the HVAC system.
- Improper installation: When ductwork is installed incorrectly, it leads to improper airflow and strange noises, often due to gaps in connections.
- Rodents and pests: Animals such as insects, mice, and rats may chew through the structure of your ductwork to leave droppings and create blockages.
- Under insulated ducts: If your ducts are inadequately insulated, this can prevent your home from reaching your desired temperature.
- Unbalanced airflow: This can occur when too much or too little air is delivered to certain rooms via your ductwork. This causes discomfort and inefficiency.
- Accidents: During renovations or home projects, your ductwork may be accidentally damaged in locations such as the attic, walls, or basement.
Our Ductwork Repair & Sealing Process
Comfort issues within your home don’t always mean air conditioning or heating repair. There are times when your ductwork is the culprit. The question becomes, does your ductwork need to be repaired or sealed? Both processes begin by inspecting your ductwork system and locating the issue.- Ductwork repair involves repairing physical damage done to the ductwork, such as cracks, holes, or disconnected sections. Physical damage is repaired via reconnecting sections or replacing damaged parts of the ductwork.
- Ductwork sealing focuses on leaks and gaps in the ductwork to prevent air from escaping. Leaks can be found in the joints, seams, and connections and are sealed using aerosol sealants.
