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.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Hurst’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Duct Sealing team knows Hurst housing stock better than out-of-town outfits that treat every suburb the same. Hurst’s dominant building era, the 1960s through early 1980s, produced duct systems that are now at failure age, and we see the same patterns repeatedly: galvanized trunk lines with separated joints, flex duct degraded by attic heat, and the crushed-duct problem from old weatherization jobs that most competitors miss entirely.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work under The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The price we write down before work starts is the price you pay. If the repair fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Air Duct Sealing in Hurst
Air Duct Sealing in Hurst means finding the leaks, disconnections, and crushed runs in your duct system and closing them with mastic, mesh, and mechanical fasteners so conditioned air reaches your rooms instead of your attic. Most Hurst homeowners need this when rooms won’t heat or cool evenly, utility bills spike, or a cleaning inspection reveals the real problem is air loss, not dirt buildup. A typical whole-system sealing job in Hurst runs $850 – $1,800 depending on accessibility, the extent of damage, and whether we need to replace crushed or degraded sections.
What the Inspection Covers
We start with a camera run through your trunk lines and a pressure test to measure static pressure and airflow at each register. In Hurst’s 1960s-’70s ranches, we often find galvanized supply joints that have worked open after decades of summer heat cycling in the attic. In 1980s two-story homes, we look for flex duct with degraded outer jackets from condensation during our humid summers.
How We Seal What We Find
Small gaps and joint separations get brushed with duct-sealing mastic and reinforced with fiberglass mesh. Disconnected flex runs are reconnected with proper collars and sealed. Crushed sections are replaced, not patched. We pressure-test again when we’re done so you see the before-and-after numbers in writing.
Duct Sealing Services in Hurst
Duct Sealing Services in Hurst address the specific failure modes this city’s housing stock produces after 40-60 years of service. When your HVAC runs 7-8 months a year pulling air through ducts that sit in 140°F attics, the materials break down. We seal systems in single-story ranches off Norwood, two-story traditional homes near Bedford Road, and the older apartment complexes around Hurst Town Center. A partial sealing job targeting one problem zone runs $350 – $650; full-system sealing with section replacement can reach $2,200 in complex attic layouts.
Crushed Duct Recovery
This is the Hurst-specific problem we find more than anywhere else in Tarrant County. In the older neighborhoods off Pipeline Road and Norwood, ducts are regularly found crushed under blown-in insulation from the 1980s-’90s TXU/Oncor weatherization retrofits. Out-of-town companies see weak airflow and recommend a bigger blower or more vents. We pull the insulation back, identify the crushed runs, and restore proper airflow with sealed, properly supported ductwork.
Galvanized Trunk Restoration
The original metal trunk lines in Hurst’s mid-century ranches were built to last, but the joints weren’t. Decades of expansion and contraction in unconditioned attics pop seams and loosen connections. We reseat the joints, seal with mastic rated for metal-to-metal contact, and verify with a smoke test or pressure reading.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical cleaning before sealing, Nikro negative-air machines for containment during ductwork disturbance, and filtration and sealing products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. We stock common flex duct diameters, galvanized fittings, and mastic compounds locally so Hurst jobs don’t wait on parts orders. When we find a crushed 10-inch flex run in a Norwood attic or a separated collar on a Bedford Road two-story, we fix it that day, not next week.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- Galvanized trunk joints opened by decades of attic heat cycling. The metal expands every summer afternoon and contracts overnight. After 50 years in a Hurst attic, the joints separate and leak conditioned air into unconditioned space. Homeowners notice the back bedrooms never cool properly while the utility bill climbs.
- Crushed or disconnected flex duct buried under blown-in insulation from 1980s-’90s TXU/Oncor weatherization retrofits. This is the Hurst pattern out-of-town crews miss. Insulation contractors blew material deep into attics without mapping duct runs, flattening supply lines and disconnecting flex joints. The homeowner’s airflow dropped gradually over years, often blamed on “old houses” or “Texas heat.”
- Degraded flex duct in 1980s two-story homes near Northeast Mall. Early flex duct lacks the UV and moisture barriers of modern material. Hurst’s long cooling season and humid summers condense moisture on the outer jacket, breaking down the fiberglass layer and causing air loss through the porous surface.
- Attic condensation accelerating metal corrosion and mastic failure. Hurst sits on heavy clay soil that holds moisture, and attic humidity runs high during our humid shoulder seasons. Corroded galvanized fittings and failed original mastic create leak paths that compound over time.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Hurst, TX
A typical duct sealing job in Hurst runs $850 – $1,800 for whole-system work on a standard single-family home. Partial sealing of one or two problem zones starts around $350 – $650. If we need to replace crushed or degraded duct sections, add $200 – $450 per run depending on length and attic accessibility. The 1980s two-story homes with complex trunk-and-branch layouts near Northeast Mall tend toward the higher end; single-story ranches with open attic access fall toward the lower.
What moves the price: how many joints need sealing, whether flex runs are crushed or just disconnected, if we need to remove and replace insulation to access the work, and whether your system needs a pressure test and balancing after sealing. We write the full price before we start. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll inspect with a camera, show you what we find, and give you a number you can count on.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Hurst
Yes, and this is exactly the pattern we find in Hurst’s older neighborhoods. The TXU/Oncor weatherization programs blew insulation deep into attics without regard for duct placement, crushing supply runs and disconnecting flex joints. We pull the crushed sections, reconnect and seal the runs with mastic and mesh, and pressure-test to verify restored airflow. On a 1972 single-story ranch off Norwood, our tech ran a camera inspection down the main trunk and found a galvanized supply run flattened under a foot of blown-in insulation from an old weatherization job, plus six disconnected flex joints feeding the back bedrooms. We pulled the crushed section, reconnected and sealed the runs with mastic and mesh, and pressure-tested the trunk – the homeowner’s supply airflow at the far registers nearly doubled and the return static dropped enough that the blower motor stopped short-cycling. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free camera inspection.
We run a camera and pressure test before recommending either. If your ducts are dirty but structurally sound, Hurst Dryer Vent Cleaning or duct cleaning is the right call. If we find separated joints, crushed runs, or degraded flex, sealing or replacement is the actual fix. Many Hurst homeowners schedule a cleaning and learn the real problem is air loss, not debris. The camera doesn’t lie. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll show you what we see.
Indirectly, yes. Hurst’s heavy clay soil shifts with moisture changes, and that movement can crack slab foundations and stress wall and ceiling penetrations where ducts pass through. More directly, the clay holds humidity that migrates into crawl spaces and attics, accelerating corrosion on metal fittings and mastic failure. We inspect these penetration points and environmental conditions as part of our standard assessment.
Most Hurst homeowners see measurable improvement. When conditioned air leaks into the attic instead of reaching your rooms, the system runs longer to hit thermostat setpoints. Sealing the leaks restores designed airflow, reduces runtime, and stops the blower from working overtime. In a climate where cooling dominates 7-8 months, that runtime reduction adds up. We pressure-test before and after so you have numbers, not promises.
We inspect with Rotobrush camera systems and seal with professional-grade mastic, mesh, and mechanical fasteners from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman. Our negative-air containment during duct disturbance comes from Nikro equipment. For homeowners who want upgraded filtration after sealing, we install Aprilaire products. Everything we use is commercial-grade, not hardware-store gear, and we explain what each tool does while we’re in your home.
