Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Duct Repair & Sealing Across Hunters Creek Village
Duct repair and sealing in Hunters Creek Village typically runs $340-$890 per air-handling system depending on accessibility and the extent of damage, with most multi-zone estate homes requiring inspection of 3-5 independent systems. We also offer our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hunters Creek Village for homes needing full ventilation service. Our crews are dispatched from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and arrive with written prices already prepared, no call-for-a-quote step required. Call (346) 423-3631.
We’ve worked in Hunters Creek Village since 2013, and the pattern is consistent: large homes on quiet streets like those near Pine Shadows or along the Buffalo Bayou corridor, many built between the late 1950s and 1980s, with original flex ductwork that’s now brittle from Houston humidity or with post-Harvey repairs that never got properly sealed. These aren’t small fixes. A disconnected run above a hallway ceiling can pull 70-plus percent unconditioned attic air into your supply system, and in a home with multiple zones, that inefficiency compounds fast. Our Duct Repair & Sealing team treats every job as a documented project, not a quick patch.

Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Hunters Creek Village
Duct Sealing
In Hunters Creek Village, duct sealing often means addressing legacy gaps from post-2017 renovation work. We use mastic sealant, not tape, on metal connections and collar joints, because tape fails in Houston’s humidity within months. A typical sealing job for one air handler in Hunters Creek Village runs $340-$520. For homes with 3-5 systems, we inspect and quote each independently so you know exactly what each zone needs.
Flex Duct Repair
Flex duct is common in the 1960s-1980s builds that dominate Hunters Creek Village’s older streets. The plastic liner degrades, the insulation compacts, and the wire helix corrodes in attic heat. We replace damaged sections with new R-8 insulated flex, properly supported and sealed at both ends. Flex duct repair in Hunters Creek Village typically costs $280-$640 per run depending on length and attic access. We photograph every connection before closing the chase.
Metal Duct Repair
Some of the area’s original homes and newer teardown rebuilds use galvanized metal trunk lines. We repair separated seams, patch corrosion holes, and reseal takeoff connections. Metal work runs higher due to material and labor, generally $420-$780 per section in this market. Where rust is extensive, we’ll show you the photo and recommend replacement versus repair.
Duct Insulation
Condensation on duct exteriors is a recurring issue in Hunters Creek Village attics where humidity routinely exceeds 70%. We replace saturated or degraded insulation with new R-8 or R-6 wraps, sealed at seams, to prevent sweat and the mold that follows. Insulation replacement for accessible trunk lines typically runs $380-$650.
Mastic Sealant Application
Mastic is a fiber-reinforced, water-based compound brushed onto joints and seams. It remains flexible and bonds to metal, flex, and existing mastic. In Hunters Creek Village, we apply mastic to every collar, splice, and takeoff we touch. It’s slower than tape. It lasts. The cost is included in our sealing quotes, not added later.
Air Leak Repair
Air leaks in Hunters Creek Village homes often trace to 2017-2018 contractor repairs that were never properly finished. We pressurize the system, use smoke pencils or infrared scanning to locate leaks, then repair and document. Leak detection and repair for a single zone starts around $390; multi-zone homes with hidden chases require more time and are quoted per system after inspection.

Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Hunters Creek Village Homes
- Post-Harvey hidden disconnects. In the rush of 2017-2018 rebuilds, many contractors reconnected flex runs by hand without mastic or proper collars. We find these concealed above ceilings in homes near the Buffalo Bayou watershed, pulling humid attic air into supply runs and creating chronic mold conditions.
- Multi-zone system neglect. A 4,500-square-foot home with four air handlers often has one or two zones that were never properly balanced after original installation. Leaks in the longest runs go unnoticed because other zones compensate, until energy bills spike or a room never reaches setpoint.
- Humidity-degraded flex insulation. Houston’s ambient moisture breaks down the vapor barrier on older flex duct over 15-20 years. The insulation gets wet, compresses, and loses R-value. We replace these sections and seal the new runs properly.
- Rushed surface seals failing. Foil tape and mesh tape applied to metal seams without mastic often peel within a season here. We remove failed tape, clean the metal, and apply fresh mastic for a seal that holds.

FAQs - Duct Repair & Sealing in Hunters Creek Village
We inspect and quote each air handler as a separate system, with a written scope and price for each before any work begins. On a recent job near Pine Shadows, we documented five independent zones, found two with significant leakage from post-2017 work, and repaired only those - the owner had the photo record and static pressure readings for all five to verify. Call (346) 423-3631 to schedule a per-system inspection.
The only reliable method is camera inspection and pressure testing of attic chases, especially in homes that took floodwater. We look for hand-secured collars without mastic, gaps at flex-to-metal transitions, and insulation saturation that indicates ongoing air leakage. On a 1970s ranch in Pine Shadows, we opened a chase above a hallway ceiling and found a collared flex run that had been reconnected by hand in 2018 but never mastic-sealed; infrared scanning showed it pulling 78% attic air into the supply and soaking the nearby insulation. We re-fastened the collar, sealed it with mastic, replaced the saturated flex section, and documented the before/after static pressure on both air handlers so the owner could see the repair without climbing into the attic. Call (346) 423-3631 for a post-Harvey duct assessment.
Leakage in one zone forces other systems to compensate, raising energy use across the entire house and creating pressure imbalances that draw humid outdoor air through walls and cavities. In a 4,500-square-foot home with four air handlers, a 20% leak in one zone can increase total HVAC runtime by 15% or more. Sealing each system independently restores balance and reduces load. Call (346) 423-3631 for a multi-zone evaluation.
We start with a camera inspection of every accessible run, focusing on ceiling chases and attic transitions where post-flood repairs were made. If we find disconnected or leaking sections, we repair with mastic-sealed connections and replace any mold-contaminated flex. We do not apply chemical treatments as a substitute for physical repair. The photo record shows you exactly what was found and what was done. Call (346) 423-3631 to schedule.
Houston’s year-round relative humidity above 70% degrades tape adhesives within months, saturates exposed insulation, and promotes mold growth on any surface that drops below dew point. Mastic sealant remains flexible and bonded; R-8 insulation with intact vapor barriers resists moisture penetration. We see tape failures in under a year here. Mastic lasts the life of the duct. Call (346) 423-3631 to inspect your current seals.
