When your ductwork is properly repaired, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Hot and cold spots disappear because conditioned air actually reaches every room instead of leaking into your walls or crawl space.
Your energy bills drop because your HVAC system isn’t working overtime to compensate for lost air. The constant layer of dust on your furniture becomes a thing of the past since air isn’t being pulled through gaps and cracks.
You’ll sleep better too. No more rattling, whistling, or banging sounds from loose or damaged ducts. Just quiet, efficient airflow that keeps your home comfortable without the noise and waste you’ve been dealing with.
We’ve been fixing ductwork problems in Piedmont and the East Bay for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with older homes in this area.
Many Piedmont homes were built when ductwork standards were different. We’ve seen it all – undersized ducts, poor connections, and systems that were never designed for modern HVAC equipment.
We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with the right tools to handle everything from simple seal repairs to complete duct replacements. When we’re done, your system works the way it should have from day one.
First, we inspect your entire duct system to identify exactly what’s wrong. We’re looking for leaks, disconnected joints, crushed sections, and any damage that’s affecting your airflow and efficiency.
Next, we explain what we found and give you a clear estimate before starting any work. No surprises, no upselling – just honest assessment of what needs to be fixed.
Then we get to work. Depending on what your system needs, we might seal leaks with professional-grade materials, reconnect loose joints, replace damaged sections, or upgrade undersized ductwork. We clean up completely when we’re finished, and test the system to make sure everything is working properly.

Our air duct repair service covers everything needed to get your system working efficiently. We seal leaks using industry-standard materials that last, not temporary patches that fail in a few months.
If sections of ductwork are damaged beyond repair, we replace them with properly sized ducts that match your system’s requirements. We also fix connection problems where ducts have come loose from vents or the main system.
For Piedmont homes with older ductwork, we often find that previous repairs were done incorrectly or with substandard materials. We fix these problems the right way, using methods and materials that will hold up over time in your home’s specific conditions.
The most obvious signs are uneven temperatures between rooms, higher than normal energy bills, and excessive dust in your home despite regular cleaning. You might also hear rattling, whistling, or banging sounds from your vents. If you notice musty odors when your system runs, that could indicate moisture problems in damaged ductwork. Many Piedmont homeowners also notice that some rooms never seem to get comfortable no matter how much they adjust the thermostat – this usually means conditioned air is escaping through leaks before it reaches those areas.
In most cases, yes. We access ductwork through existing openings, crawl spaces, basements, and attics without needing to cut into walls or ceilings. Our inspection equipment lets us locate problems precisely, so we only access the areas that actually need repair. For Piedmont homes with finished basements or limited crawl space access, we plan our approach carefully to minimize any disruption to your living space. The only time wall access might be necessary is for major replacements in areas where ducts are completely inaccessible otherwise.
Repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your system. Simple sealing jobs might run a few hundred dollars, while replacing damaged sections or upgrading undersized ductwork costs more. We always inspect first and give you a clear estimate before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most Piedmont homeowners find that proper duct repair pays for itself through lower energy bills within the first year or two. We’ll explain what needs to be done and why, so you can make an informed decision about your investment.
Most duct repair jobs take between half a day and a full day, depending on the extent of the problems and accessibility of your ductwork. Simple leak sealing might only take a few hours, while replacing multiple sections or upgrading connections takes longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate. The good news is that your HVAC system can usually stay operational during most of the repair process, so you won’t be without heating or cooling. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Yes, if your ducts are leaking or damaged, proper repair typically reduces energy costs significantly. Leaky ductwork can waste 20-30% of your conditioned air, forcing your HVAC system to work much harder to maintain comfortable temperatures. When we seal those leaks and fix connection problems, your system operates more efficiently and uses less energy. Most of our Piedmont customers notice lower utility bills within the first month after repair work. The exact savings depend on how much air was being lost and how hard your system was working to compensate for those losses.
Absolutely. We stand behind our duct repair work because we use quality materials and proven methods that last. Our repairs are designed to hold up under normal operating conditions for years, not months. If you experience problems with areas we’ve repaired, we’ll come back and make it right. We’re not interested in temporary fixes that fail quickly – we want your ductwork functioning properly for the long term. That’s better for you and better for our reputation in the Piedmont community.
