Duct testing & sealing

We test your ducts before we tell you they're leaking.

Leaky ductwork sends conditioned air into the attic instead of your rooms. We measure the leakage first, then seal it - including Aeroseal for runs we can't reach by hand.

Leaky ducts are a bill you don't see

A duct that's torn, disconnected, or just poorly sealed doesn't fail all at once - it quietly pushes cooled or heated air into the attic instead of your living room. You pay for that air twice: once to condition it, and again when the system runs longer trying to make up for what leaked out.

Attics in the Tucson area get brutally hot in summer and cold enough at night in winter to stress any duct run passing through them. We test the system before recommending anything, so you know exactly what's leaking and where - not a flat estimate based on the age of the house.

What duct testing tells us

  • How much conditioned air your ductwork is actually losing
  • Where the leaks are, not just that they exist
  • Whether sealing pays for itself or a smaller repair is enough
  • How your ductwork is affecting the whole system's performance, not just one room

Our process

Testing & sealing process

01

Duct testing

We measure airflow and leakage at the system level before recommending anything, using the same testing standard we build into every installation.

02

Point-of-leak sealing

Where we can reach a duct by hand, we seal it directly - mastic, not tape that fails in a few years.

03

Aeroseal for the rest

For leaks inside walls or hard-to-reach runs, we use Aeroseal, a process that finds and seals small leaks from the inside of the ductwork without opening up the house.

04

Re-test to confirm

We test again after sealing so the improvement is measured, not assumed.

Duct testing & sealing questions

Straight answers, no runaround. If yours isn't here, call us.

Aeroseal seals ductwork from the inside, closing small leaks in walls and hard-to-reach runs that point-of-access sealing can't touch.

Uneven room temperatures, higher-than-expected bills, and dusty vents are common signs, but testing is the only way to know how much air you're actually losing.

Yes. Sealed ducts stop pulling attic dust and insulation particles into the airstream that feeds your rooms.

Ductwork testing is part of our installation process, since a new system can't perform to spec through leaky ducts. Standalone testing and sealing on an existing system is priced separately.

Point-of-leak sealing is usually a single visit. Aeroseal timing depends on the size and condition of the duct system - we'll give you a specific estimate after testing.

Curious how much air you're losing?

We test before we recommend anything, and the work is guaranteed in writing.
