Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Friendswood

Duct Sealing

Leaky duct joints and boot connections waste conditioned air and pull attic humidity into the system. In Friendswood, where indoor relative humidity stays elevated much of the year, unsealed ducts don’t just lose efficiency - they become re-wetting sites for mold. We seal every joint and boot with mastic sealant (not tape alone) after cleaning or repair, then pressure-test the system to verify integrity. This matters especially in older Friendswood subdivisions where original construction used tape that has dried and failed.

Flex Duct Repair

Friendswood’s core housing stock was built from the late 1960s through the 1990s with attic-run flex duct systems now 30-50 years old. The inner liner of this flex duct degrades from sustained humidity exposure, and in flood-affected homes, silt and biological contamination accelerate that failure. We replace compromised runs with new flex duct rated for the local climate, secure it with proper supports, and seal every connection. We photograph the damaged liner before removal and the new installation after - part of our standard Documented Photo Record.

Metal Duct Repair

Some Friendswood homes, particularly those built in the 1970s and early 1980s, have galvanized metal trunk lines with later flex duct branches. Metal ducts corrode at seams and where insulation has failed, especially in humid attics. We repair or replace damaged sections, re-insulate with proper vapor barriers, and seal all transitions. Metal work requires different tools than flex - we carry both on every Friendswood truck.

Mastic Sealant Application

Mastic is a fiber-reinforced, water-based sealant that remains flexible after curing - critical in Friendswood’s climate, where thermal expansion and attic humidity stress rigid seals. We brush-apply mastic to every joint, seam, and boot connection after repair or cleaning. Tape alone fails; mastic doesn’t. This is standard on every sealing job, not an upsell.

Duct Insulation

Failed duct insulation in a Friendswood attic means condensation on cold air supply lines, which means water dripping onto ceiling drywall and mold growth inside the duct. We replace damaged insulation with proper R-value materials and vapor-barrier jackets, sealed at every seam. This is particularly important for homes near Clear Creek, where flood history may have compromised original insulation that was never fully inspected.

Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Friendswood Homes

• Degraded flex duct liners in 30-50 year old homes. The inner plastic layer of attic flex duct becomes brittle and tears, releasing fiberglass and debris into airflow. In Friendswood’s humidity, this happens faster than inland markets. A fogging “sanitizer” treatment does not remove the degraded liner - only mechanical agitation and replacement does.
• Silt and biological contamination in duct boots from Harvey flooding. In subdivisions near Clear Creek, pulling registers often reveals dried silt lines inside duct boots - floodwater that entered the system and was never source-removed. Companies that only vacuum visible duct runs without camera inspection or register removal miss this entirely.
• Failed tape seals at joints and boots. Original construction tape dries and separates in hot, humid attics. Friendswood’s nearly year-round HVAC runtime accelerates this failure. We remove old tape and apply mastic for a permanent seal.
• Re-wetting and mold recolonization after incomplete cleaning. High indoor humidity near Galveston Bay means duct surfaces re-wet quickly. Skipping mastic sealing at boots and joints, or failing to address the source of moisture, lets mold return within a season. Sealing is not optional here - it’s climate necessity.
