The Go Air Ducts Approach to High Quality Sealing

At Go Air Ducts, we do not believe in temporary fixes. While many homeowners attempt to use standard “duct tape” for repairs, this material is notoriously prone to drying out and peeling off within a few years. We use industry leading materials and techniques designed for longevity and performance.

Comprehensive Pressure Testing and Inspection

Our process begins with a detailed diagnostic evaluation. We use specialized equipment to measure the airflow and pressure within your ducts, which allows us to pinpoint exactly where the leaks are occurring. This data driven approach ensures that we address the most significant breaches first, providing the greatest return on your investment. We pay close attention to the “plenum” connections and the junctions where different sections of the ductwork meet, as these are the most common areas for failure.

Mastic and Fiber Reinforced Sealing

To ensure a permanent bond, our technicians use professional grade mastic sealant. This is a thick, flexible paste that is applied to the joints and seams of the ductwork. Unlike tape, mastic remains flexible after it cures, allowing it to expand and contract with the temperature changes of your HVAC system without cracking. For larger gaps, we use fiber reinforced mesh to provide structural support for the sealant, ensuring an airtight barrier that can last for decades. This methodology aligns with the rigorous standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for home energy conservation.

Improving Indoor Air Quality through Structural Sealing

Duct sealing is not just about saving money, it is a critical component of maintaining a healthy indoor environment. When your ducts have holes, they create a “venturi effect” that sucks in outdoor pollutants, insulation particles, mold spores, and even fumes from stored chemicals in your garage or basement. These contaminants are then distributed throughout your living areas, potentially exacerbating asthma, allergies, and other respiratory conditions.

By sealing these entry points, you create a “closed loop” system that only circulates the filtered air from inside your home. This is especially important in regions with high pollen counts or humidity issues. For more information on how ventilation impacts health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides extensive resources on indoor air pollutants. To further improve your home’s air, we often recommend pairing this service with our Air Duct Cleaning to remove any debris that was pulled in while the system was still leaking.

The Connection Between Duct Sealing and Humidity Control

Leaky ducts are a major contributor to indoor humidity problems. During the summer, return ducts located in an attic can pull in hot, moist air. This forces your air conditioner to work double time to dehumidify the air, often leading to a clammy feeling indoors or even mold growth on the vents.

Professional duct sealing keeps the humid air out and the dry, conditioned air in. This protects your home’s structural elements, such as wood flooring and cabinetry, which can warp or swell when exposed to fluctuating moisture levels. 

Enhancing the Efficiency of Other HVAC Services

Duct sealing acts as a force multiplier for your other home maintenance efforts. For instance, if you are investing in a Chimney Sweep and Inspection, having sealed ducts ensures that your home’s internal pressure is balanced, which helps your fireplace draw air correctly and prevents backdrafting. Similarly, businesses can benefit from our Commercial Air Duct Cleaning to ensure that large scale systems are not wasting energy through unsealed rooftop units or warehouse trunk lines.
