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 Hesperia’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been working in Hesperia long enough to know what the high desert does to ductwork. The combination of Mojave silt, wood-stove soot, and temperature swings that stress flex duct seams isn’t theoretical for our crews, it’s Tuesday.
Our Duct Sealing in Hesperia work is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job. If a sealed joint fails or a mastic application cracks within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including the second visit.

Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Inland Empire office, with crews serving Hesperia locally. We know the difference between a 1978 manufactured home off Cottonwood Avenue and a 1990s tract house near Maple Avenue, and we price accordingly.
Duct Sealing Services in Hesperia
Duct Sealing Services in Hesperia address the leaks, gaps, and disconnected runs that draw unfiltered attic and crawlspace air into your HVAC system. In Hesperia’s housing stock, we find crushed flex duct, separated elbows behind air handlers, and pinhole leaks at metal duct joints that have been accumulating soot and desert dust for decades. A typical whole-home sealing job in Hesperia runs $800 – $2,400, with most manufactured homes and smaller single-family systems landing between $1,200 – $1,800. We seal with mastic and fiberglass mesh on flex duct, and use proper mechanical fasteners on metal systems, then verify with a static pressure test.
Leak Detection and Pressure Testing
We pressurize your duct system and measure airflow loss at the air handler and registers. In Hesperia homes, we commonly find 20 – 35% leakage in original duct systems from the 1970s through 1990s. The test takes about 30 minutes and gives us a baseline we can verify after sealing is complete.
Mastic Sealing of Joints and Seams
We brush mastic, a water-based sealant, onto every joint and seam, then reinforce with fiberglass mesh where flex duct connects to boots or plenums. Unlike tape, mastic remains flexible through Hesperia’s temperature extremes and won’t dry out and fail in attic heat.

Duct Insulation in Hesperia
Duct Insulation in Hesperia protects conditioned air from the extreme temperatures found in local attics and crawlspaces, where summer heat can exceed 140°F and winter nights drop below freezing. Uninsulated or poorly insulated ducts in Hesperia homes force HVAC systems to run longer, driving up utility bills and accelerating equipment wear. A typical duct insulation job in Hesperia runs $600 – $1,800 depending on linear footage and whether we’re wrapping existing duct or replacing degraded insulation. We use professional-grade materials from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman, sized for the temperature extremes of high-desert construction.
Attic Duct Wrapping and Replacement
Original insulation on flex duct in Hesperia attacks often crumbles after years of UV exposure and temperature cycling. We remove degraded material and install new R-6 or R-8 insulation with vapor barriers, sealed at every seam to prevent condensation in winter.
Crawlspace Insulation Upgrades
Crawlspace ducts in Hesperia’s older homes sit in dusty, rodent-accessible spaces. We inspect for damage, seal all connections, then wrap with insulation that won’t compress or absorb moisture, keeping your delivered air temperature stable year-round.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hesperia
Our crews carry professional-grade equipment and materials from Rotobrush, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, the same brands commercial HVAC contractors specify for high-desert installations. We stock mastic, fiberglass mesh, mechanical fasteners, and insulation wraps sized for Hesperia’s duct configurations, so most jobs finish in a single visit without waiting on parts. For filtration upgrades following sealing work, we also source Aprilaire media filters and whole-house air cleaners. Every product is explained in plain terms before installation, with written specifications included in your job documentation.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Hesperia Homes
- Crushed flex duct in attics. The day-night temperature swings in Hesperia cause flexible duct to expand and contract repeatedly, eventually splitting seams or crushing where supports have failed. We find this most often in manufactured homes built between 1975 and 1995, where original strapping has deteriorated.
- Disconnected elbows behind air handlers. Santa Ana wind events create negative pressure that can shake loose poorly supported fittings. We were called to a manufactured home in the Mesa Linda area where the homeowner complained of dust blowing from the registers after a spring wind event. Our camera inspection found a crushed flex run in the attic and a disconnected elbow behind the air handler. After source removal and sealing the joints with mastic and mesh, the static pressure dropped and the blower motor amperage returned to spec.
- Pinhole leaks at metal duct joints. Original metal ducts in 1970s tract homes along Main Street and Cottonwood Avenue develop corrosion at joints where decades of wood-stove soot and Mojave dust have accumulated. The acidic combination eats through galvanized seams, creating multiple small leaks that add up to significant airflow loss.
- Sagging runs in crawlspaces. Improperly supported ductwork in Hesperia’s older homes drops between joists, creating low points where dust collects and airflow is restricted. After wind events, these sagging sections often separate entirely at couplings.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Hesperia, CA
Whole-home duct sealing in Hesperia typically costs $800 – $2,400. Most manufactured homes and smaller single-family systems fall between $1,200 – $1,800. Larger homes with extensive attic duct networks, or systems requiring significant disassembly to access leaks, can reach the upper end of the range. Duct insulation runs $600 – $1,800 depending on linear footage and material grade.
What moves the price: accessibility (crawlspace vs. attic vs. conditioned space), extent of damage requiring repair before sealing, and whether we’re sealing only or combining with cleaning and insulation. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Hesperia
Your ducts draw in fine Mojave silt through leaks and gaps every time the wind pressurizes your attic or crawlspace. In Hesperia, that silt is fine enough to pass through standard filters and recirculate through your home. Sealing the duct system stops the infiltration at its source. Call (361) 326-5060 for a pressure test that locates exactly where the dust is entering.
Yes, but only if your duct system is pulling air from the same space where the stove operates. Many Hesperia homes with wood stoves have return air pathways that draw from rooms with active combustion, circulating soot particles through the entire system. Sealing return duct leaks and ensuring proper separation between combustion and conditioned air prevents this recirculation. We inspect for this specific condition on every Hesperia job. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.
Start with a camera inspection. If we find disconnected runs, crushed sections, or significant leakage, sealing and repair come first, cleaning second. In Hesperia’s 1970s – 1990s housing stock, we often find both conditions together, but sealing without cleaning leaves debris in the system, and cleaning without sealing means the debris returns within months. We price both options and explain what we found before you decide. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection.
It often makes more difference in manufactured homes than in site-built construction. Original flex duct in Hesperia manufactured homes was frequently installed with minimal support and lower-grade materials, and decades of temperature cycling have degraded seams and connections. We’ve measured 30 – 40% leakage in original systems, which sealing reduces to under 10%. The homeowner in Mesa Linda saw immediate improvement in airflow and dust levels. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific system.
We use mastic and fiberglass mesh from Abatement Technologies, mechanical fasteners and insulation from Guardsman, and rotary brush systems from Rotobrush for pre-sealing cleaning when needed. Every material is rated for the temperature extremes of Hesperia’s high-desert climate. We explain what we’re using and why before application. Call (361) 326-5060 with specific product questions.
