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.
Fast, Reliable Duct Sealing Across San Leon
Duct sealing in San Leon typically runs $450 – $1,200 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We seal leaks at joints, connections, and penetrations using mastic and metal-backed tape rated for Gulf Coast humidity, then pressure-test to confirm the fix holds. If your HVAC runs constantly but rooms stay uneven, or your electric bill climbs through summer without explanation, leaky ducts are the likely culprit.
San Leon sits right on Galveston Bay, and that location shapes everything about how we work here. The salt-laden air, the humidity that never really drops, the older elevated homes on Avenue O and along 9th Street, the post-Ike rebuilds on stilts with ductwork tucked into crawlspaces that flood in a storm. We’ve worked in cottages near Bacliff and bungalows off Grand Avenue where the original galvanized ductwork has been corroding since the 1960s. Our crews drive in from the Dallas-Fort Worth office for scheduled jobs, and we know the difference between a San Leon crawlspace and a dry suburban attic in Houston.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is San Leon’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 handled enough coastal Texas jobs to know what salt air does to ductwork that inland crews rarely see. San Leon homeowners don’t need a lecture on humidity. They need someone who shows up with the right materials for a bayfront environment and prices the job in writing before touching anything.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work under The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the seal fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.

Duct Sealing Services in San Leon
Duct Sealing Services in San Leon address a specific coastal problem: leaks that pull humid, salt-laden bay air into your system, corroding components and spreading mustiness through every room. We find and seal gaps at plenum connections, register boots, and flex duct junctions using mastic compound and UL-181 rated tape that won’t peel in 90% humidity. A typical whole-home sealing in San Leon runs $450 – $1,200 depending on system size and accessibility, with crawlspace work on elevated homes toward the higher end. Homes near the water, where salt spray is constant, often need more extensive joint remediation than properties farther inland.
Leak Detection and Pressure Testing
We pressurize your duct system and measure airflow loss with a calibrated manometer. In San Leon, we regularly find 20 – 35% leakage in homes built before 1980, especially where flex duct was taped rather than sealed with mastic. The test gives us a baseline and proves the improvement after we finish.

Mastic Sealing of Joints and Connections
Mastic is a thick, brush-applied sealant that remains flexible after curing. We apply it to every metal-to-metal and metal-to-flex joint, then reinforce with metal-backed tape. In San Leon’s salt air, this outlasts standard cloth-backed tape by years. We also handle Air Duct Cleaning in San Leon for homes that need both sealing and contaminant removal.

Duct Insulation in San Leon
Duct Insulation in San Leon prevents condensation from forming on cool supply ducts in your humid crawlspace or attic, which leads to mold, mildew, and eventual material failure. We wrap sealed ducts with formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation, typically R-6 or R-8 depending on location, and seal the insulation jacket with vapor-barrier tape. A typical insulation job in San Leon runs $600 – $1,800 for a full system, with crawlspace access on pilings homes adding labor time. This work pairs naturally with sealing, since insulation over unsealed ducts simply traps moisture at the leaks.
Crawlspace and Pier-and-Beam Applications
San Leon’s elevated homes, common from the 1950s through post-Ike rebuilds, often have ductwork suspended in open crawlspaces where bay winds circulate freely. We use moisture-resistant insulation with reinforced vapor barriers, secured with proper hangers rather than sagging plastic strapping that collects condensation.
Attic Ductwork in Humid Conditions
Attics in San Leon can reach 140°F in August, but the bigger problem is humidity infiltration. Our insulation installs include sealing all penetration points where ducts pass through top plates, preventing the moist attic air from reaching conditioned spaces. We also provide Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leon for homeowners addressing multiple ventilation concerns.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Leon
We carry professional-grade equipment and materials from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. For San Leon’s corrosive environment, we stock mastic compounds formulated for high-humidity applications and metal-backed tapes that resist salt degradation. Our filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire help homeowners upgrade their systems while we’re already on site for sealing or insulation work. Parts are ordered through our Dallas-Fort Worth office with turnaround that keeps most jobs on schedule without waiting for coastal supply house stock.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in San Leon Homes
- Corroded metal ductwork from salt air exposure. We regularly find pinhole leaks and rusted joints in galvanized ducts installed before the 1990s, especially in homes near the bayfront. The salt film that deposits during storm winds accelerates corrosion from the inside out once humid air enters through gaps.
- Failed tape joints in crawlspaces under elevated homes. Standard cloth duct tape degrades in 2 – 3 years in San Leon’s humidity. We remove the old residue and reseal with mastic and metal-backed tape rated for permanent installation in wet locations.
- Disconnected flex duct after storm events. High winds under pier-and-beam homes can shift flex duct off collars. We reconnect with proper mechanical fasteners and seal the joint, then add support straps to prevent future separation.
- Return air leaks pulling in crawlspace moisture and contaminants. In San Leon’s older bungalows, return plenums often have unsealed seams that draw humid, musty air directly into your breathing space. We seal these with mastic and verify with pressure testing.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in San Leon, TX
A typical duct sealing job in San Leon runs $450 – $1,200 for a whole-home system. Duct insulation adds $600 – $1,800 depending on R-value and linear footage. Several factors move the price within these ranges: system size (more ducts, more labor), accessibility (crawlspaces on pilings take longer than slab-attic systems), and the condition of existing ductwork (corroded sections may need replacement rather than sealing).
We do not quote per-vent or teaser prices that balloon once we’re inside. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. Every estimate is free, with no obligation. Call (361) 326-5060 for an exact quote on your San Leon home.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in San Leon
Whole-home duct sealing in San Leon typically costs $450 – $1,200, with duct insulation running $600 – $1,800. Crawlspace access on elevated homes and the extent of corrosion damage are the main price variables. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Most jobs finish in 4 – 6 hours for a single system. Homes on pilings with crawlspace ductwork may take a full day. We schedule arrival windows and stick to them, with written confirmation of the timeframe before we dispatch.
We work throughout San Leon including the original grid near Avenue O and 9th Street, the bayfront properties along Bayshore Drive, and the post-Ike rebuild areas toward Bacliff. If your home is in San Leon, we cover it.
Yes, especially here. Sealed ducts prevent your system from pulling humid, salt-laden air into the airflow, which reduces corrosion, mold risk, and the load on your dehumidifier. Most San Leon homeowners see lower electric bills and more even cooling after sealing.
If any sealed joint fails, insulation sags, or the pressure test shows new leakage within one year of our work, we return and make it right at no charge. This includes a free second visit, parts, and labor. The promise is written on every invoice, not implied.
