Professional Duct Repair To Your Air Duct System
Is it very common to find compromised ducts in your household. Ducts that were installed many years ago could dry up and tear. In particular it is common to find old ducts that have lost the insulation, and more so, some ducts are ripped apart and air flow is lost in the attic.
Duct Repair For Rodent Infestation In The Attic
If you experienced any rodent infestation in the attic, not only you will have to safely secure the attic from the rodents to come back, but also, you may have to thoroughly check your ducting in order to make sure the rats or mice did not chew through it.
As an attic cleaning and insulation service we do come across many attics that were heavily infested with rats and mice. Aside of the rats feces all over your attic and insulation, the rats also tend to chew on anything available. It could be electric cords, and also ducts and insulation.
In many cases we find clear wide opening in the attic for several ducts, and our customer say the have wondered why the HVAC air flow has not been doing well.
Therefore, when we do our attic inspection, we always make sure to inspect your ducts as well to make sure they are not broken or ripped apart.
Duct Repair VS Duct Replacement
In addition, in some cases where the ducts are old enough, or the rats chewed through large parts of the ducts, a repair alone for the duct may not be sufficient. The reason a repair may not be enough is in some cases after repairing the duct, the duct itself can collapse inside. In these situation we do a duct replacement and completely replace the old ducts with new ones.
