Pickerington’s housing stock is different from older Columbus neighborhoods. Most homes here went up from the late 1980s through the 2020s, built with flexible ductwork in attic truss bays and between floors. That flex duct saves the builder money, but it crushes at tight turns, slips at collars, and leaks conditioned air into places you don’t want it. We’ve sealed ducts in enough Pickerington two-stories to know the pattern: the upstairs runs hot, the homeowner calls for a cleaning, and what they actually need is someone to camera-inspect the runs and seal the leaks.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Pickerington’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company

We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and our Duct Sealing team has worked across Central Ohio long enough to recognize Pickerington’s specific failure modes before we open the attic hatch. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and expected to follow The Garrison Code on every job: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the work by the book, and leave the site clean.

Every duct sealing job in Pickerington comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the seal fails or the airflow problem returns within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.

Duct Repair in Pickerington

Duct Repair in Pickerington usually means fixing crushed flex runs, reconnecting slipped collars at the plenum, or replacing sections of builder-grade duct that have torn at stress points. A typical repair in Pickerington runs $280 – $520 depending on how many sections need attention and whether we need to access them through finished ceilings. We always camera-inspect first so we’re quoting the actual problem, not guessing.

Crushed Flex Runs in Attic Truss Bays

Pickerington’s post-1990 tract homes often have flex duct squeezed through tight 90-degree turns in the attic framing. Over years of heat cycling, the duct collapses at the bend and restricts airflow to the upstairs. We cut out the damaged section and replace it with properly supported flex or rigid pipe where space allows, then seal all joints with mastic.

Disconnected Collars at the Air Handler

The flex-to-plenum connection is a common failure point in Pickerington basements and utility closets. The zip-tie or clamp loosens, and conditioned air leaks into the mechanical room instead of reaching the registers. We reconnect with mechanical fasteners and seal with mastic rated for the temperature range.

Air Duct Sealing in Pickerington

Air Duct Sealing in Pickerington addresses the gaps, seams, and joints where conditioned air escapes before it reaches your rooms. Most sealing jobs in Pickerington run $340 – $680 for a whole-system treatment, depending on system size and access. We use mastic compound and reinforced tape on every joint, not the foil tape that dries and fails within a few seasons.

Mastic Sealing for Flex Duct Systems

Unlike older galvanized metal ducts, Pickerington’s flex systems need a flexible seal that moves with the duct. We brush mastic onto every collar, splice, and trunk connection, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal holds. The goal is zero measurable leakage on the supply side and minimal return-side infiltration.

Sealing Behind Finished Basements and Chases

Many Pickerington homes have finished lower levels with return runs hidden behind drywall. We use borescope cameras to inspect these chases without cutting access holes, then seal what we can reach and document what we can’t for your records.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pickerington

We carry sealing products and filtration components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies on our trucks, which means most Pickerington jobs don’t wait for parts. If your system uses a Honeywell electronic air cleaner or an Aprilaire media cabinet, we can seal around those components without disturbing the factory calibration. For homes with Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration, we verify that our sealing work doesn’t create pressure drops that affect filter performance. We don’t guess at compatibility; we check the model number and seal to the manufacturer’s spec.

Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Pickerington Homes

• Builder-grade flex pinched at attic truss turns. In Pickerington’s newer neighborhoods, the flex duct often collapses at tight 90-degree bends, restricting airflow to upstairs rooms before any dirt shows at the registers. Camera inspection finds it; mastic and replacement fix it.
• Disconnected collars leaking into finished basements. The flex-to-plenum and flex-to-trunk connections in Pickerington’s two-stories frequently slip or were never fully secured during original construction. That conditioned air leaks into basement ceilings and behind drywall chases, not into your bedrooms.
• Foil tape and zip-tie joints failing on 1990s-2000s builds. Original construction shortcuts in Pickerington’s first wave of suburban growth are now drying out and pulling attic air into supply and return ducts. We remove the old tape and reseal with mastic rated for the temperature swing.
• Seasonal humidity cycling opening seams. Pickerington’s humid summers and dry winters expand and contract duct materials differently. We’ve found that summer A/C condensate and winter furnace heat stress the same joints year after year, widening gaps that started as hairline cracks.
