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 Seabrook
Duct sealing in Seabrook, TX typically costs $350 – $850 for a whole-home system and is scheduled within a few days, not weeks. The salt-laden air off Galveston Bay degrades seals faster here than inland, so coastal homeowners usually need inspection every three to five years rather than the decade-long intervals common in drier suburbs.
We’re the Duct Sealing crew that serves Seabrook from our Houston dispatch office, with technicians who know the difference between a standard inland job and a bayfront home on Todville Road or in Old Seabrook. We’ve worked the elevated ranches near Pine Gully Park and the newer townhomes along Second Street. Roy Castellanos built Hollis Air Duct Cleaning on The Garrison Standard: written price before work starts, arrival inside the quoted window, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing on every job.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Seabrook’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
Seabrook homeowners have a specific problem most Houston suburbs don’t: salt air that corrodes duct sealing mastic from the outside while humidity breeds microbial growth from the inside. We’ve been handling that combination since 2004. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to spot the early failure modes that show up here first.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues. When you schedule Duct Sealing in Seabrook, you get a written price before any work starts, and that price does not move at the door. If the repair fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s on every invoice.
We dispatch from Houston but our crews live and work this corridor daily. We know which Seabrook homes have ductwork in unconditioned crawlspaces beneath elevated floors, where bay air pushes straight through gaps in the foundation. That local knowledge changes what we pack in the van and how we approach the job.
Duct Sealing Services in Seabrook
Duct Sealing Services in Seabrook address the leaks, gaps, and disconnected runs that let conditioned air escape into your attic, crawlspace, or walls while pulling in humid, salty outside air. A typical whole-home duct sealing job in Seabrook runs $350 – $850 depending on system size, accessibility, and how far the seals have degraded from coastal exposure. Most Seabrook homeowners notice the need when rooms won’t hold temperature, the air handler runs constantly, or energy bills spike during summer humidity.
Leak Detection and Mastic Sealing
We pressurize your duct system and measure airflow loss at each register and joint. In Seabrook, we often find register boots pulling away from drywall and flex-duct connections cracked from salt corrosion. We seal with mastic compound and foil tape rated for high-humidity environments, not the cheap cloth tape that fails in two seasons here.

Plenum and Air Handler Connections
The plenum, where your air handler meets the main trunk line, is a common failure point in older Seabrook homes. We inspect and reseal these connections with materials that withstand coastal conditions, then verify with a post-seal pressure test so you see the improvement in hard numbers.

Duct Insulation in Seabrook
Duct Insulation in Seabrook protects against the condensation that forms when cold supply air runs through hot, humid attics or crawlspaces. A typical insulation refresh or replacement for a Seabrook home runs $400 – $950 depending on linear footage of duct and whether the existing insulation has been compromised by moisture or pest intrusion. This is separate from sealing but equally critical here: even perfectly sealed ducts will drip if the insulation is thin, torn, or waterlogged.
Vapor Barrier Assessment
We check whether your duct insulation’s vapor barrier is intact. In Seabrook’s climate, a compromised vapor barrier lets warm, moist air reach the cold duct surface, and the resulting condensation feeds mold growth around the air handler. We replace damaged sections with insulation rated for the humidity loads this market sees.
Attic and Crawlspace Wrapping
For ducts in unconditioned spaces, we add or replace external insulation wraps that reduce temperature differential and stop the sweating that damages ceilings and fosters microbial growth. This matters especially in elevated Seabrook homes where crawlspaces see direct bay air intrusion.
Trusted Brands We Service in Seabrook
Our vans carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the same tools commercial crews use on larger jobs. For filtration and moisture control products, we stock Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman components. We keep common sealing materials and insulation wraps on hand so Seabrook customers aren’t waiting on a parts order while humidity continues degrading their system. When a tropical storm has pushed salt and debris through your exterior vents, that fast turnaround matters.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Seabrook Homes
- Salt-corroded mastic and flex-duct jackets. The same salt air that pits boat hardware degrades duct sealing materials three to five times faster than in inland Houston. Joints that look intact on visual inspection are often cracked and leaking at the microscopic level.
- Condensation on cold supply ducts in humid attics. Seabrook’s year-round humidity hits 80% or higher regularly. When cold air runs through poorly insulated ducts in an unconditioned attic, condensation forms, drips into insulation, and creates the musty smells homeowners report from their vents.
- Disconnected flex runs in elevated home crawlspaces. Many Seabrook homes built before modern standards have ductwork beneath the living floor, where bay air pushes through foundation gaps and vibration gradually separates flex-duct connections from boots.
- Post-storm saltwater and debris intrusion. After tropical weather, we find bay silt and organic debris forced through exterior vents into ductwork. Sealing over this contamination without source removal traps the problem and accelerates corrosion from the inside.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Seabrook, TX
A typical whole-home duct sealing in Seabrook runs $350 – $850. Duct insulation work runs $400 – $950. Combined sealing and insulation packages for older coastal homes typically fall between $650 and $1,400. What moves you within those ranges: system size (single-zone versus multi-zone), accessibility (crawlspace work takes longer than attic access), and how far degradation has progressed (salt-corroded joints need more material and labor than simple gap sealing).
We do not quote per-vent teaser prices that balloon once the technician arrives. We do not sell fogging “sanitizers” that mask problems without fixing the underlying leaks. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not change at your door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with exact numbers for your home.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Seabrook
Yes. Salt-laden air corrodes mastic compound and degrades flex-duct jackets three to five times faster than in inland Houston suburbs. We use foil tape and mastic rated for coastal humidity, and we inspect Seabrook bayfront homes more frequently than standard inland schedules. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule an inspection.
If saltwater or debris entered your exterior vents, yes. Routine cleaning removes dust and particulate, but storm intrusion leaves bay silt and salt residue that corrodes metal ductwork from the inside. Our Seabrook Dryer Vent Cleaning service source-removes the contamination with negative-air HEPA filtration before resealing, so we don’t trap the problem beneath new mastic. We source-remove the contamination with negative-air HEPA filtration before resealing, so we don’t trap the problem beneath new mastic. Call (361) 326-5060 and tell us if you’ve had recent flooding or vent exposure.
Running AC without proper sealing and insulation actually makes the problem worse. Cold air in leaky, uninsulated ducts pulls humid outside air in at gaps, and the temperature differential causes condensation. That moisture, combined with organic debris in the ductwork, feeds mold growth. Sealing stops the air intrusion; proper insulation stops the condensation. Both are usually needed in Seabrook’s climate. Call (361) 326-5060 for an assessment of your specific system.
Every three to five years for bayfront and elevated homes, versus seven to ten years for well-sealed inland systems. Salt corrosion accelerates joint failure, and Seabrook’s humidity means small leaks become big condensation problems fast. We recommend a pressure test with any duct cleaning service to catch degradation early. Call (361) 326-5060 to add a pressure test to your next appointment.
It will if the smell comes from humid outside air entering through leaks and condensing in the system. If the smell comes from active mold growth or pest contamination inside the ductwork, sealing alone traps the problem. We inspect first, source-remove any contamination with Rotobrush agitation and negative-air HEPA filtration, then seal so the problem stays gone. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate that includes both diagnosis and solution.
