Ways to Repair Ductwork

There are two main ways professionals repair ductwork, and neither one involves the use of duct tape. In fact, duct tape is never a good resource to turn to for any kind of duct repair as the glue breakdown quickly, leaving you your repair and more of a mess to clean up. Here are the two main ways ductwork is repaired:

  • Sealing – for holes, cracks and broken connection seals, your technician will use a fibrous adhesive called mastic to seal these problem areas.
  • Replacement – for areas where serious corrosion or damage has taken hold, your technician will remove the damaged section and replace it with new ducting material so that it seamlessly blends with the rest of that particular duct.

How Do I Know My Ductwork Is Faulty?

Ductwork is very much "out of sight, out of mind," which makes it hard to see what’s happening with it. This means that it can be very hard to detect when your ductwork needs help. Here are some signs that indicate it’s time to repair your ductwork:

  • Poor indoor air quality – excess humidity, foul odors and too much dust and dirt in your living spaces are all indications that a lot "stuff" is getting into your ductwork, and the likely causes are holes and cracks.
  • Uneven heating and cooling – it’s normal to have a slight temperature difference between the different areas of your home, but if you are experiencing a wide range of disparate temperatures, something is going on with your ductwork.
  • Loud whistling – does it sound like a chorus starts up from all the whistling of your ductwork? A little bit of sound emanating from your ducts is normal, but loud whistling typically indicates there are holes and cracks through which your air is escaping.
