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.

We serve Beverly from our Boston scheduling office, with crews covering the North Shore daily. That means we’re familiar with the specific headaches Beverly homes present: salt-air corrosion in hand-fabricated ducts, flex runs cracked by winter freeze-thaw in unheated attics, and the musty returns that show up every July when humid air hits cold duct surfaces. Whether you’re in a 1720s colonial near Cabot Street or a 1960s ranch off Brimbal Avenue, we’ve sealed ductwork in your neighborhood and we know what to look for before we open a single register.

Beverly homeowners call us back because we show them the problem before we quote the fix. Our technicians carry cameras and blower-door test gear, not just a caulk gun and a sales pitch. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every seal we make: if a joint fails, a mastic crack reopens, or a rodent chews through our repair within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. That’s written on every invoice, not implied.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No “we’ll call you back Monday.” When you schedule Duct Sealing in Beverly, you get a confirmed arrival window, a background-checked uniformed technician, and a written price that doesn’t move when the van pulls into your driveway.
Duct Sealing Services in Beverly
Duct Sealing Services in Beverly address the conditioned air leaking from cracks, failed joints, and deteriorated flex connections before it ever reaches your living spaces. We pressure-test the system first, mark every leak, then seal with mastic and reinforced mesh or replace damaged flex sections. In Beverly’s coastal climate, this work pays for itself faster than inland because salt-air corrosion and humidity-driven mold accelerate duct failure. A typical whole-home duct sealing in Beverly runs $800 – $2,400, with partial seals for isolated problem areas starting around $400.
Pressure Testing and Leak Mapping
We start every Beverly job with a blower-door and duct-blaster test. This gives us a hard number: how much air you’re losing to attics, crawlspaces, and wall cavities. In Beverly Farms and Montserrat homes, we regularly find 25 – 40% leakage, much of it from flex runs in unheated chases that the homeowner never sees.

Mastic Sealing and Flex Replacement
We don’t use tape as a permanent fix. Mastic, applied with mesh reinforcement, forms a permanent seal on metal joints. Where flex is split or rodent-damaged, we cut out the bad section and install new insulated flex with proper supports. The price for this work is written before we start, and it includes all materials.

Duct Insulation in Beverly
Duct Insulation in Beverly protects sealed ductwork from the temperature swings that cause condensation, mold, and energy loss. In unheated attic and crawlspace runs common in Beverly Farms, Montserrat, and North Beverly, bare or degraded insulation lets cold supply air hit humid summer air, creating water that breeds mold and invites rodents. Proper insulation after sealing prevents this. A typical duct insulation job in Beverly, often combined with sealing, runs $600 – $1,800 depending on linear feet and access difficulty.
Vapor-Barrier Insulation Wrap
We use professional-grade insulation with intact vapor barriers, not the compressed, torn wrapping we find on most Beverly jobs. This stops warm, moist air from reaching cold duct surfaces. In coastal homes, this matters more than anywhere inland.
Attic and Crawlspace Run Protection
Exposed runs in unheated spaces get the most attention. We support flex properly so it doesn’t sag and pool condensation, and we seal every penetration through framing to stop air bypass. This is where Beverly’s salt air and freeze-thaw do the most damage.
Trusted Brands We Service in Beverly
Hollis stocks parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for Beverly customers, with Nikro negative-air equipment on every truck. This means we’re not ordering parts and making you wait. A Honeywell media air cleaner or Aprilaire dehumidistat can be integrated during your sealing job if your system needs it. We explain what each component does and why it matters for your specific duct layout, then let you decide. No package deals, no pressure.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Beverly Homes
- Fogging “sanitiser” upsells masking real damage. We’ve been called to Beverly Farms homes where a previous vendor fogged a chemical mist into ducts with split flex liners and rusted collars. The smell came back in six weeks. The real fix was source removal, mastic sealing, and replacing damaged sections, not a recurring deodorizer subscription.
- Sealing over salt-laden corrosion without cleaning first. In downtown and Beverly Farms colonial homes, hand-fabricated sheet-metal ducts carry decades of salt and dust buildup. Mastic applied over this layer peels within a year. We clean and prep the surface before we seal.
- Ignoring the air handler cabinet as a leak source. Some crews seal visible supply and return ducts but miss the blower motor cabinet and plenum connections. In Beverly’s humid summers, this leaves conditioned air dumping into crawlspaces while your bedroom stays stagnant.
- Cracked flex from winter freeze-thaw in unheated chases. On a 1950s cape off Hale Street in Beverly Farms, our tech pulled a camera through a flex run that snaked across an unheated attic chase and found the inner liner split at a joint, with fine rust staining and rodent-chewed insulation around the collar. We sealed the damaged section with mastic and mesh, then used duct insulation on the exposed run to stop winter condensation from freezing against the old flex. The homeowner had been quoted a fogging ‘sanitiser’ elsewhere; we showed them the split liner on camera, and the real fix was source removal and sealing, not a mist.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Beverly
Salt-laden humid air accelerates corrosion in metal ducts and degrades flex liner faster than dry inland climates. In Beverly Farms and Montserrat, unheated attic and crawlspace runs see winter condensation freeze and crack flex, then summer humidity drives mold through those openings. Sealing addresses the root cause; fogging does not. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection.
Only if the smell is coming from duct leakage. Musty odors in Beverly’s older homes often originate from mold in unconditioned spaces where leaked air deposits moisture. Sealing stops that migration. If mold is already inside the duct, we clean before sealing. We camera-inspect to tell the difference before quoting. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
It depends on condition. We camera every flex run first. If the inner liner is intact, we seal joints and insulate. If it’s split, rodent-chewed, or rust-stained, replacement is the only permanent fix. We show you the camera footage and quote both options in writing. Call (361) 326-5060 for an assessment.
Yes. NADCA’s Assessment, Cleaning, and Restoration of HVAC Systems standard governs our inspection and cleaning protocols. For Beverly’s plaster-wall homes, we use low-pressure equipment and avoid aggressive mechanical contact that could vibrate loose historic finishes. Sealing is done from accessible points without cutting new openings. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your home’s specific construction.
MERV 11 – 13 is appropriate for most Beverly homes after sealing, balancing particle capture with airflow. Higher MERV can strain older blowers. We test static pressure after sealing and recommend based on your system’s capacity, not a generic chart. Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters in this range are what we stock locally. Call (361) 326-5060 for a filter recommendation matched to your sealed system.
