Duct Sealing in Lakeland, FL

Why your back bedroom never cools and the vents whistle

That is usually leakage, not capacity. Supply air escapes into a vented attic before it reaches the register. Return side leaks are worse. A loose zip-tie collar at an octopus box pulls dusty, hot attic insulation into the blower. You feel it as weak airflow and a dusty house. On 1950s-70s block ranches we find original galvanized trunk in the attic, fiberglass-lined boots, and old duct tape repairs curled off the metal. Tape fails here. Mastic and mesh do not.

Sealing starts with finding the leaks, not guessing. We inspect collars, plenum seams, boot-to-drywall joints and the air handler cabinet itself. Ductboard plenums from the 80s and 90s often sweat during the long humid cooling season, and a sweating plenum seam is a mold problem before it is an energy problem. Crushed radius turns and sagging flex get supported and straightened, since sealing a kinked run just locks in the restriction.

Manufactured homes are a different job. Belly duct and crossover ducts tear underneath and draw ground moisture and soil. Those get repaired or replaced, not caulked.

Sealing is not a fix for a dirty evaporator coil or dust mud sitting in flex low spots. We say so when that is what we find.
