Duct Sealing & Repair Petrolia, ON
If ducts have been added or altered over time, visible gaps, detached boots, crushed sections, or dust near returns may warrant an inspection. Photograph accessible joints and note which rooms seem affected, but do not assume that every dusty room points to a duct leak. Ask whether pressure testing is included and how test results will identify specific leaks. The findings can help distinguish sealing at joints from repairs to damaged runs, and make the proposed scope easier to compare.
Could a duct leak be drawing air from an unintended space?
Leaks on a return side may draw air from nearby spaces, while damaged supply runs can lose airflow. Ask how testing will locate the problem before agreeing to repairs.
Test, Mark, and Seal Identified Leaks
Ask whether a pressure test will be used and how results will be recorded before sealing begins. Leaks may occur at joints, boots, or older transitions, but testing helps identify which locations need attention. A marked list or photographs of the findings makes it easier to compare the proposed repairs with the evidence.
Check Return-Side Connections
If a return duct is near a basement or foundation space, ask whether its connections will be inspected for gaps and whether testing can indicate leakage. Do not assume the source of dust without evidence. The location and size of any leak affect the repair scope and help determine whether sealing a return connection is relevant.
Match Repairs to the Damage
Photograph crushed sections, loose boots, and visible gaps, then ask how each item will be repaired. A scope might involve refastening a boot, replacing damaged duct, or sealing seams with mastic, depending on the material and condition. Confirm which repairs are included and which would need a separate assessment before work proceeds.
