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.

AfterFast, Reliable Duct Sealing Across Gresham Park
We dispatch crews to Gresham Park from our Atlanta office, and we’ve learned the hard way that duct sealing here isn’t the same job it is in newer subdivisions with conditioned attics. The mid-century ranch homes along Glenwood Road and the streets branching off Bouldercrest were built with ductwork running through vented crawlspaces, and that changes everything about where the leaks form and how you fix them. If you’re noticing hot rooms in summer, musty air when the system kicks on, or utility bills that climb every July, the problem is likely gaps in your crawlspace trunk line that a standard attic crew would walk right past. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll send someone who knows what to look for under a Gresham Park house.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Gresham Park’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been sealing ducts in DeKalb County since 2004, and the Gresham Park jobs stick with our technicians because the houses keep teaching us something new. A crew that sealed ducts in a 2021 Sandy Springs build last week has to completely retool their inspection for a 1962 brick ranch off Gresham Road, where the galvanized trunk might be original and the flex-duct replacement from 1998 is now brittle and chewed.
Our customers here don’t find us through billboards. They find us because their neighbor on the same block had us out, or because their HVAC contractor told them the duct leakage was too severe for the equipment to overcome. That word-of-mouth pattern means something in a community this size.
Phones at Hollis are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. When you call (361) 326-5060, you’re talking to someone who can schedule a Gresham Park appointment, not a call center reading a script.
Every technician we send is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to The Garrison Standard, which means arriving inside the quoted window, pricing the job in writing before touching anything, and leaving the site clean. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every seal we apply: if it fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
HVAC Duct Sealing in Gresham Park
HVAC Duct Sealing in Gresham Park means addressing the specific failure points of crawlspace-run systems in 1950s – 70s ranch homes, where metal trunks corrode, flex connectors sag, and foundation vents invite rodents that chew through whatever’s in their path. The job involves pressurizing the system to measure leakage, accessing the crawlspace to inspect every joint and trunk section, then sealing with mastic or metal-backed tape rated for the temperature swings and humidity these ducts endure. A typical whole-system seal in Gresham Park runs $850 – $1,400 for a single-zone home, with two-system houses or extensive galvanized replacement reaching $1,800 – $2,500. We price by the system, not by the linear foot, and we write it down before we start.
When Sealing Beats Replacement
Not every leaky duct in Gresham Park needs tearing out. If the galvanized trunk is structurally sound but the joints have separated and the flex drops have gaps at the boots, a thorough seal with mastic can restore 15 – 25% efficiency loss without the cost of full replacement. We test after we seal to prove the leakage dropped.
Crawlspace Access and Preparation
Our crews carry crawlspace-grade PPE and lighting because Gresham Park homes often have 18 – 24 inch clearance and red-clay moisture issues. We lay protective sheeting, document conditions with photos, and show you what we found before we quote the seal.
Duct Repair in Gresham Park
Duct Repair in Gresham Park frequently starts with a homeowner complaint about “a room that never cools” and ends with us pulling crushed flex duct from between floor joists or patching a rusted-through galvanized trunk that was dripping condensation onto the vapor barrier below. The humid subtropical climate here keeps crawlspaces damp year-round, and that moisture accelerates corrosion of metal components while weakening tape adhesives that might have held in a drier region. Repair costs in Gresham Park typically fall between $400 – $950 for localized fixes, $1,200 – $2,100 for partial trunk replacement with sealed reconnections, and $2,800 – $4,500 when a full system needs replacement with properly sealed new ductwork. We don’t quote until we’ve been under the house.
Rodent Damage and Pest Entry
Foundation vents in older Gresham Park homes often lack proper screens, and we’ve found squirrel-chewed flex duct and mouse nests packed into trunk line gaps near the sill plate. Repair includes sealing the entry point, not just patching the duct, or you’ll be calling us back next season.
Mixed-Material Systems
Many Gresham Park homes have been renovated piecemeal, leaving original galvanized trunks connected to 1990s flex duct with incompatible fittings. These transition points leak by design if not properly sealed with mastic and mechanical supports.
Trusted Brands We Service in Gresham Park
Our trucks carry sealing and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, plus negative-air and rotary brush equipment from Nikro and Rotobrush for jobs where cleaning precedes sealing. We don’t order parts from a warehouse three states away. Our Atlanta office stocks the mastic compounds, metal-backed tapes, and connector fittings sized for the duct profiles common in Gresham Park’s housing stock, which means most repairs don’t require a return trip. If your system uses Honeywell media filters or an Aprilaire whole-house unit, we can inspect those components during the same visit and note whether they’re pulling unfiltered air through duct gaps.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Gresham Park Homes
- Crawlspace humidity corrodes galvanized trunks. The red-clay soil and vented crawlspace design in Gresham Park traps moisture against metal ductwork, producing pinhole leaks and joint separation that attic-based systems simply don’t experience. We seal what we can and flag what needs replacement.
- Original flex duct has aged past its service life. That 1987 flex-duct replacement is now brittle, with the inner liner cracked and insulation exposed. It can’t hold a seal with tape alone and needs section replacement with proper mastic-sealed connections.
- Foundation vents invite rodent intrusion. Chewed flex near the perimeter, nesting material packed into trunk gaps, and the odor that follows: we see it regularly near the Bouldercrest corridor and in homes backing up to wooded lots. Sealing the ducts without sealing the entry point wastes your money.
- Piecemeal renovations created incompatible connections. A homeowner added central air in 1995, a contractor replaced some drops in 2008, and now the system has four different duct materials with transition leaks at every change. We map the whole system and seal it as an integrated network.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Gresham Park, GA
Duct sealing in Gresham Park typically costs $850 – $1,400 for a complete single-system seal on a standard ranch home, with two-zone systems or homes requiring extensive crawlspace repair running $1,800 – $2,500. Full duct replacement with sealing on a larger home can reach $2,800 – $4,500. What moves the number: how much of the system is accessible from the crawlspace versus requiring floor penetration, whether we’re sealing existing sound ductwork or replacing corroded sections first, and how many rodent-damaged areas need repair before sealing can be effective. We don’t do per-vent pricing, we don’t bait with a low figure that jumps at the door, and we don’t start work until you’ve approved a written price. Estimates are free.
