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 Seguin’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company

HVAC Duct Sealing in Seguin
HVAC Duct Sealing in Seguin means finding every leak, gap, and disconnected joint in your supply and return ductwork, then sealing them with mastic and mesh or specialized aerosol sealant so the air you paid to condition actually reaches your rooms. In Seguin, where HVAC systems run 8 – 10 months a year through brutal humid summers and pollen-heavy springs, even a 15% duct leakage rate can add $30 – $60 to a monthly electric bill and force your air handler to work harder than it should.
Most Seguin homeowners call us after noticing hot rooms in summer, cold spots in winter, or dust that returns within days of cleaning. Others schedule sealing after an energy audit flags leakage above 10%. A typical whole-house seal in Seguin runs $350 – $850 depending on system size, duct accessibility, and whether we’re working with accessible attic flex duct or crawling a pier-and-beam foundation near the Guadalupe River.
What the Process Looks Like
We pressurize your duct system and measure leakage with a calibrated fan. Then we seal accessible joints with mastic and reinforced mesh, reconnect separated sections, and seal register boots to the floor or ceiling. For hard-to-reach leaks, we use aerosol duct sealant that finds gaps from the inside. We test again when we’re done so you see the before-and-after numbers in writing.
When Sealing Becomes Repair
Sometimes we open a duct run and find damage too severe for sealing alone. Sagging fiberboard, rusted galvanized trunks, or collapsed flex duct need repair or replacement before sealing does any good. We flag this during inspection, explain it plainly, and give you a written price for the full scope. No surprises once work begins.
Duct Repair in Seguin
Duct Repair in Seguin addresses the physical damage that sealing alone cannot fix: crushed flex duct in attics, rusted-out galvanized supply trunks in 1950s homes, sagging fiberboard runs under pier-and-beam floors, and rodent-chewed returns in rural outbuildings. Seguin’s housing stock spans nearly a century of construction methods, and each era brings its own failure modes. Repair costs in Seguin typically range from $200 for a single flex-duct replacement to $1,200 – $1,800 for extensive galvanized trunk work in older homes.
Out on a 1940s farmhouse east of the Guadalupe County Courthouse square, our crew ran a camera inspection on the original galvanized supply trunk and found a 1950s fiberboard branch run sagging under the pier-and-beam floor, bellied low with pecan pollen, cotton-field dust, and enough standing moisture to bloom mold. We pulled negative pressure, freed the debris with agitation tools, sealed every unsealed joint with mastic and mesh, and rebalanced the registers so the air handler wasn’t fighting a dozen leaks in the supply and return ducts. The homeowner said her spring allergy symptoms eased within a week of the work.
Pier-and-Beam Challenges
Seguin’s older homes near the Guadalupe River sit on pier-and-beam foundations where 1950s-era fiberboard ductwork has sagged from decades of humidity into low spots that collect debris and moisture – a duct-sealing condition our techs almost never see in the slab-on-grade 2010s – 2020s builds along Highway 123. These bellied sections need repair or replacement before sealing, or the mastic will fail as moisture continues pooling.
Rural Property Realities
Properties on unpaved roads outside Seguin pull in dust loads that suburban systems never see. Wood heat in outbuildings, longer service drives, and extended HVAC runtime all compress the realistic maintenance interval. We see rural Seguin systems needing attention every 2 – 3 years versus 4 – 5 for tight-built city homes.
Trusted Brands We Service in Seguin
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and sealing products from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman. We stock common repair materials locally so Seguin jobs don’t wait on shipped parts. When we quote a repair, we specify what brand and grade of material we’re using and why it fits your system. No hardware-store tape jobs. No mystery products.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Seguin Homes
- Sagged fiberboard under pier-and-beam floors. In neighborhoods near the Guadalupe River, decades of humidity have bellied 1950s fiberboard runs low enough to trap standing water. Sealing with mastic and mesh alone won’t fix it; the branch needs repair or replacement first, then sealing.
- Galvanized trunk leaks hidden from view. Older homes around the Courthouse square often have beautiful original hardwood and failing original ductwork. The real air loss is at unsealed joints buried in attics or crawl spaces, not the register boots you can see.
- Return-side grille bypasses in tight new builds. West-side Seguin subdivisions built since 2010 are well-sealed at the envelope but often have return plenums pulling air from wall cavities instead of ducted returns. The system runs constantly and still can’t keep up.
- Rural dust loading from unpaved roads and open land. Properties outside city limits see accelerated debris accumulation that forces filters and ductwork harder than the manufacturer designed for.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Seguin, TX
Whole-house duct sealing in Seguin typically costs $350 – $850 for a standard single-system home. Smaller systems or limited-access jobs may run lower; larger homes with multiple air handlers, extensive pier-and-beam crawl work, or repair-plus-seal scope can reach $1,200 – $1,800. We do not quote per-vent teaser prices that balloon at the door. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts.
What moves the number: system size, duct accessibility (attic vs. crawl space vs. slab), existing damage requiring repair first, and whether we’re sealing with mastic and mesh or adding aerosol sealant for hard-to-reach leaks. Every estimate includes a leakage test before and after so you see exactly what changed. Call (361) 326-5060 for your free estimate.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Seguin
Every 2 – 3 years for rural properties on unpaved roads or with significant open land exposure, versus 4 – 5 years for tight-built suburban homes. The dust loading from unpaved roads, pollen from pecan and oak stands, and longer HVAC runtime in Seguin’s humid climate accelerate debris accumulation. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific property and usage.
Yes, significantly. Sealing return-side leaks prevents your system from pulling unfiltered pollen through wall cavities, attic spaces, and crawl spaces during the February – April peak. In Seguin, where pecan aphid honeydew and oak pollen load HVAC returns at levels unrecognizable in nearby metro markets, sealed returns are the difference between filtered air and outdoor air dumped straight into your living room. Call (361) 326-5060 for a leakage test before next spring.
Yes, and we do it regularly. We crawl the space, inspect for sagging fiberboard or standing moisture, repair or replace damaged sections first, then seal all accessible joints with mastic and mesh. We never seal over bellied, moisture-laden ductwork; that traps the problem and guarantees callback. Call (361) 326-5060 for an inspection.
Yes, often more than owners expect. Tight-built 2010s – 2020s homes rely entirely on duct integrity for indoor air quality because the envelope is so well-sealed. With Seguin systems running 8 – 10 months annually, even small return-side leaks pull in attic dust and rural pollen faster than a slab home owner expects. A typical seal pays back in 2 – 4 years through reduced runtime and filter life. Call (361) 326-5060 for an estimate.
We pressurize your duct system, measure total leakage with a calibrated fan, access and seal every leak point with mastic and mesh or aerosol sealant, then test again to verify improvement. The process takes 3 – 6 hours for most Seguin homes. You receive before-and-after leakage numbers and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
