When a duct needs repair, not just cleaning

Cleaning clears what has collected inside a duct. It does not fix a duct that has been squashed behind the dryer, pulled apart at a joint or damaged by age.

A repair puts the duct back into shape so air has a clear path again, which is good for the dryer or the heating and cooling system and for the safety of the home.

What you get with Duct Repair and Maintenance

Damaged duct fixed
A section that has been crushed or torn is repaired so the duct holds its shape and carries air properly.
Loose joints reconnected
A duct that has come apart leaks air, and lint, into places it should not go. Reconnecting it closes the gap.
Airflow restored
With the restriction gone, air moves through the duct more freely, so the appliance or the system works as intended.
Safer ductwork
Ductwork that is intact and connected keeps air, heat and lint where they belong.

Signs a duct may be damaged

Duct Repair and Maintenance questions

Can you repair a crushed or disconnected duct?

Yes. We repair damaged, crushed or disconnected ductwork to restore proper airflow and safety. Call us and describe what you see, and we can talk through what the repair would involve.

How do I know whether I need a repair or a cleaning?

If the duct is intact but full of lint or dust, a cleaning is the right step. If it is squashed, torn or apart, it needs repair. A camera inspection can tell the two apart.

Does repair include maintenance?

Maintenance means keeping ductwork in good shape over time, for example by cleaning it on a regular schedule. Ask us when you call about the plan that makes sense for your home.
