Duct repair, San Jose

The air you pay to heat should reach the room, not the attic

Leaky ducts lose the air you pay for. Here is what we fix and why it matters.

Leaky ducts

What goes wrong with ducts

  1. Flattened run

    Crushed: stepped on in the attic, so the air cannot get through.

  2. Open seam

    Torn or split: heated air blowing into the attic or crawl space.

  3. Off its collar

    Loose: a run fallen off its collar, feeding nothing.

What duct repair covers

Duct repair means finding leaking or damaged ducts and vents and repairing them.

We reconnect, seal and support what can be saved, and replace what cannot.

Older homes sometimes have asbestos duct materials. If you suspect it, tell us before work starts and we will talk through how the testing rules treat it.

  • If a duct test is needed, the homeowner may hire a rater independent of the contractor.
  • Duct repair under a permit applied for on or after January 1, 2026, follows the 2025 Energy Code.
