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.

Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Pinehurst
Duct Sealing
Most Pinehurst homes we inspect have supply leaks at the plenum connections and return leaks at the platform seams - losses that pull unconditioned attic air into the system and drive up cooling costs during our 10-month season. We seal with mastic at every joint, collar, and boot, then pressure-test to verify. A typical duct sealing job in Pinehurst runs $340-$620 for a single-system home, with the full scope written before work starts.
Flex Duct Repair
This is where Pinehurst’s housing stock shows its age. The original flex duct in 1970s-1990s ranch homes has hardened, sagged, and often crushed flat behind air handlers or in attic spaces where summer heat exceeds 140°F. We cut out collapsed sections, rebuild with new flex duct rated for the application, and seal every transition with mastic - not tape alone, which fails in attic conditions. Flex duct repair in Pinehurst typically ranges from $280 for a single run to $740 for multiple collapsed sections, depending on attic access and length.
Metal Duct Repair
Some Pinehurst homes, particularly earlier ranch builds and certain manufactured housing setups, use galvanized trunk lines with branch takeoffs. We repair separated seams, corroded sections, and failed dampers using sheet metal fabrication and mechanical fastening, sealed with mastic. Metal duct repair in Pinehurst generally runs $420-$890, with full replacement of degraded trunk sections at the higher end.
Duct Insulation
When supply ducts run through Pinehurst’s unconditioned attics, missing or degraded insulation creates condensation that feeds mold growth - especially with indoor humidity routinely above 70% during our long cooling season. We reinsulate with formaldehyde-free fiberglass wrap or closed-cell sleeve insulation, sealed at all seams. Duct insulation in Pinehurst typically costs $380-$680 for a standard single-system home.

Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Pinehurst Homes
- Crushed original flex duct behind the air handler. The 1978-1995 flex duct in Pinehurst ranch homes has become brittle after decades of attic heat cycling. We regularly find runs crushed flat where they sag across trusses or where homeowners have stored boxes on top of them, cutting airflow to entire zones.
- Resinous pine pollen paste in return plenums. Pinehurst’s location in the East Texas Piney Woods means return intakes pull in sticky, fibrous pollen and decomposing needle fragments that flat-prairie suburbs toward Tomball never see. Standard brush-and-vacuum methods struggle to clear it; agitation tools and camera verification are required.
- Mold colonization in supply ducts from condensation. With AC running 10+ months and indoor humidity frequently above 70%, moisture condenses on cool duct surfaces. The accumulated pine debris becomes a mold substrate - not surface dust, but active colonization that requires source removal and sealing, not just cleaning.
- Disconnected boots and collar separations at trunk lines. Thermal expansion and brittle duct material cause the connection points to pull loose, dumping conditioned air into attics and pulling attic air into returns. Mastic sealant at every joint is the fix, not tape that degrades in heat.

FAQs - Duct Repair & Sealing in Pinehurst
Pinehurst sits directly in the East Texas Piney Woods pollen plume, so your return intakes pull in resinous pine pollen paste and decomposing needle fragments that flat-prairie suburbs across the Harris County line never accumulate. That organic material is sticky and fibrous, not dry dust, and it packs into plenums and flex duct in layers that standard cleaning misses without agitation tools and camera verification. Call (346) 423-3631 and we’ll show you exactly what’s inside your system.
Original flex duct from the 1980s is typically too brittle to clean effectively; the internal wire helix has fatigued and the insulation wrap has degraded, so agitation often tears it. We camera-inspect first. If the duct is intact, we clean and seal. If it’s collapsed, sagging, or torn, we cut out the failed section and rebuild with new flex duct sealed at every joint with mastic - the only repair that restores proper airflow and negative pressure. Call (346) 423-3631 for a camera inspection and written scope.
Pinehurst’s indoor humidity frequently exceeds 70% during our 10-month cooling season, and that moisture condenses on the cool interior surfaces of supply ducts. In drier climates, accumulated debris stays dusty. Here, it becomes a wet mold substrate. Duct sealing reduces the infiltration of humid attic air, but active colonization requires source removal first - surface wiping won’t reach the growth inside flex duct liner. We document the extent with camera inspection before quoting any remediation work.
Yes. Our duct sealing and repair protocols follow NADCA ACR assessment and restoration standards, adapted for the specific conditions of Pinehurst’s housing stock - including the smaller plenums and tighter crawl spaces common in manufactured homes on larger lots. Every seal is verified with visual inspection and, where accessible, pressure testing. The full scope and standard compliance are documented in your written job record.
Symptoms overlap - weak airflow, hot rooms, dust streaking from registers - but the cause differs. A leak typically shows as dirty insulation around the duct exterior or whistling at joints; a crushed run shows as zero airflow to one zone with intact airflow elsewhere. We diagnose with camera inspection and airflow measurement, then show you the image before quoting repair. No guesswork, no exploratory demolition. Call (346) 423-3631 to schedule.
