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 Bulverde
When the Ashe juniper pollen starts blowing through Bulverde Hills in December, the last thing you need is your HVAC pulling that same air through gaps in your ductwork. Duct sealing in Bulverde typically runs $450 – $950 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. We dispatch crews from our Dallas-Fort Worth scheduling office and route them directly to Bulverde properties, usually arriving inside a two-hour window.
We’ve sealed ducts in ranch homes off Bulverde Road where limestone dust from caliche driveways has been cycling through flexible attic runs for fifteen years. We’ve worked in The Crossing where a homeowner’s cedar fever symptoms turned out to be aggravated by a disconnected return duct pulling attic air. Bulverde’s Hill Country geography creates sealing problems that standard San Antonio crews don’t encounter with the same regularity, and we price every job in writing before touching a single joint. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Bulverde’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
Bulverde homeowners know the difference between a crew that understands Hill Country construction and one that’s reading from a generic playbook. Our technicians have sealed ducts in the flexible attic runs common to custom ranch homes built between 1990 and 2020 throughout Bulverde’s acreage subdivisions. They know the inconsistent sealing standards that result from Comal County’s lack of municipal building codes, and they’ve corrected DIY installations that left homeowners breathing construction debris for years.
Our Duct Sealing team operates under The Garrison Standard, which means arriving inside the quoted window, pricing in writing before work starts, and leaving the site clean. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every sealing job in writing: if a joint fails or a seal separates within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Dispatch and scheduling for Duct Sealing in Bulverde are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, with crews serving the local area directly. We’ve built our reputation on the specifics that matter to homeowners who’ve been burned before: no estimates that balloon once the van is in the driveway, no per-vent pricing games, and before-and-after photos of your own ductwork so you can verify the work was done.
Duct Repair in Bulverde
Duct Repair in Bulverde addresses the physical damage that develops in flexible ductwork after decades of Hill Country heat, rodent activity, and the stress of systems that run nearly year-round. A typical repair in Bulverde runs $280 – $650 depending on accessibility and the extent of damage, with most single-section repairs falling in the $350 – $480 range.
Crushed or Collapsed Sections
Attic ductwork in Bulverde’s custom ranch homes often runs over blown insulation where foot traffic during maintenance or storage activity has compressed the flexible material. We cut out the damaged section and splice in new duct with mechanical connections sealed by mastic, not tape that will dry and fail within two summers.
Disconnected Runs and Loose Boots
The combination of high attic temperatures and vibration from constant blower operation works connections loose over time. We find these separations with pressure testing, reconnect with proper supports, and seal with fiber-reinforced mastic rated for the temperature swings Bulverde attics see.
Air Duct Sealing in Bulverde
Air Duct Sealing in Bulverde closes the gaps, cracks, and failed connections that let conditioned air escape into attics and crawl spaces while pulling unfiltered Hill Country air into your living space. A whole-home sealing job in Bulverde typically costs $450 – $950, with smaller partial systems starting around $320 and complex multi-zone homes reaching $1,200.
Mastic Application at Joints and Seams
We brush on water-based duct sealing mastic, a thick compound that remains flexible after curing, at every connection point in your system. Unlike foil tape that degrades in Bulverde’s attic heat within three to five years, mastic forms a permanent seal that accommodates the expansion and contraction of metal and flexible duct through our extreme summer temperatures.
Aeroseal Injection for Inaccessible Runs
When ductwork is buried under insulation or routed through finished walls, we pressurize the system and inject sealant particles that accumulate at leak points until they close. This method is particularly effective in Bulverde’s larger ranch homes where duct runs extend 80 to 120 feet across wide floor plans and manual access would require extensive disruption.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bulverde
Our equipment roster includes Nikro negative-air machines for controlled pressure testing, Honeywell filtration components, and Aprilaire zone control systems that we integrate with sealed ductwork for balanced performance. We stock sealing materials and replacement fittings for common configurations found in Bulverde’s 1990 – 2020 housing stock, which means most repairs don’t wait on parts orders. For homes with Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration or Guardsman media cabinets, we verify that sealing work maintains the pressure relationships those systems require to function as designed. The tools are professional-grade, not hardware-store gear, and we explain what each piece does for your specific system before we start.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Bulverde Homes
- Failed tape seals in hot attics. Foil-backed tape applied during original construction or DIY repairs has dried and separated, creating gaps that leak 15 – 30 percent of conditioned air into the attic. Bulverde’s attic temperatures regularly exceed 140°F in July and August, accelerating tape failure far faster than in cooler climates.
- Disconnected flexible duct at plenum connections. The constant blower vibration in systems that run ten to eleven months yearly works wire-reinforced flex duct loose from metal plenums, especially where original installers used zip ties or inadequate clamps instead of permanent mechanical fasteners.
- Limestone dust infiltration through return leaks. Negative pressure in return ductwork pulls fine limestone dust from Bulverde’s caliche roads and construction areas directly into the system, coating evaporator coils and aggravating respiratory issues. Sealing the return side is often more critical than the supply side for indoor air quality here.
- Poorly sealed filter racks and access panels. In homes where ductwork was installed without municipal code inspection, filter racks frequently have quarter-inch gaps that bypass filtration entirely, allowing cedar pollen and mold spores to circulate through the home during Bulverde’s peak allergy seasons.

Whole-home duct sealing in Bulverde runs $450 – $950 for most single-system ranch homes, with partial sealing of identified problem areas starting at $320. Factors that move the price: the number of accessible joints versus buried runs requiring Aeroseal, whether we need to remove and replace degraded insulation, and if pressure testing reveals secondary issues like undersized returns or blocked ducts that need correction before sealing is effective.
