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 Highgrove
If your energy bills keep climbing and some rooms never reach the temperature you set, your ducts are probably leaking conditioned air into your attic or crawl space. In Highgrove, where summer temperatures routinely push past 95 degrees and Santa Ana winds drive fine dust through every gap, sealed ducts aren’t a luxury. They’re what keeps your system from running itself to death. Our Duct Sealing team works across the Inland Empire from our Los Angeles office, and we’ve been tracing leaks in Highgrove’s older ranch homes and mid-century tract houses long enough to know where the trouble hides. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll show up inside the window, price the job in writing before we touch anything, and stand behind it for a full year.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Highgrove’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our reputation in Highgrove was built one job at a time. Roy Castellanos leads our operation, and under The Garrison Standard, our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and ready to explain what they find before any work starts.
Homeowners here tell us the same thing: they called us because the last crew quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. That doesn’t happen with Hollis. The price is written down before we touch your system, and it doesn’t move. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every duct sealing job in writing. If the seal fails or the leak returns within a year, we come back at no charge. That includes a free second visit, not a negotiation.
Calls from Highgrove are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday morning to schedule. Our dispatch team coordinates from Los Angeles, and crews serving Highgrove carry the parts and equipment to complete most sealing jobs in a single visit.
We know this area. We know the original 1970s flex duct off Victoria Avenue that crumbles at the collar connections. We know the ranch homes near Barton Street with sheet metal trunk lines that have worked loose from decades of thermal expansion. That local knowledge means faster diagnosis and a fix that lasts.
Duct Sealing Services in Highgrove
Duct Sealing Services in Highgrove address the gaps, cracks, and disconnected joints that let your heated or cooled air escape before it ever reaches your rooms. Our technicians pressurize the system to locate leaks, then seal accessible ductwork with mastic compound and reinforced tape rated for HVAC use. In Highgrove’s climate, where systems run hard eleven months of the year, even a 15% leakage rate can add hundreds to your annual energy bill. A typical whole-house duct sealing job in Highgrove runs $1,200 – $2,800, depending on system accessibility and the extent of damage we find.
Leak Detection and Pressure Testing
We start every job with a duct blaster test or calibrated pressure measurement to quantify exactly how much air you’re losing. Most Highgrove homeowners are surprised by the number. We show you the reading, explain what it means for your utility bill, and then you decide whether to proceed.

Mastic Sealing of Accessible Ductwork
For leaks in attics, crawl spaces, and utility closets, we apply duct sealing mastic, a thick, flexible compound that bonds to metal and flex duct alike. Unlike duct tape from the hardware store, mastic stays put through decades of temperature swings. In Highgrove’s hot, dry summers, that matters.

Duct Insulation in Highgrove
Duct Insulation in Highgrove protects the air you’ve already paid to condition from the extreme temperatures in your attic or crawl space. Uninsulated or poorly insulated ducts in a 140-degree Highgrove attic can lose 30% of their cooling capacity before the air reaches your vents. We wrap accessible trunk lines and branch ducts with formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation or reflective radiant barrier, depending on your home’s configuration and what the building code requires. A typical duct insulation job in Highgrove runs $800 – $1,900 for partial system coverage, or $1,500 – $3,200 for full trunk-and-branch treatment.
Attic Duct Wrapping
Highgrove’s older ranch homes often have long duct runs through unconditioned attic space. We wrap these with insulation rated to your system’s operating temperature, sealed at every seam to prevent condensation and mold growth.
Replacement of Deteriorated Internal Liner
Many Highgrove homes still have original 1970s ductwork with internal fiberglass insulation that has begun to break down. We can replace these sections entirely or apply encapsulation coating where appropriate, stopping fiber shedding into your airstream.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highgrove
Our crews arrive with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, plus filtration and sealing products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We don’t use hardware-store tape or consumer-grade sealants. For Highgrove homeowners, that means we stock the mastic compounds, mechanical fasteners, and insulation wraps that match your existing system, so most jobs finish without waiting on parts. If your ductwork uses a less common configuration, our Los Angeles office maintains supplier relationships that typically turn around specialty orders in 24 to 48 hours.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Highgrove Homes
- Santa Ana wind dust infiltration through loose collar connections. After a wind event, we see fine, silica-rich particulate packed around duct joints that were already loose. The dust acts like sandpaper, accelerating seal deterioration and giving allergens a direct path into your living space.
- Original 1970s flex duct with cracked vapor barriers. Highgrove’s mid-century tract houses often have flex duct that has become brittle from decades of heat cycling. The outer plastic jacket cracks, the inner liner sags, and air leaks out before it reaches the vent.
- Sheet metal trunk lines separated at seams. Thermal expansion and contraction in Highgrove’s hot summers and cooler winter nights gradually work loose the joints in metal ductwork. We find these leaks with pressure testing, then seal them with mastic and reinforced mesh.
- Poorly sealed return air pathways drawing attic air. In ranch-style homes with central hallway returns, a leaky return plenum sucks 140-degree attic air straight into your system. Your AC runs longer, your filter loads faster, and your energy bill climbs.
