Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Mentone’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company

We’ve been serving the Inland Empire since 2004, and Mentone’s mix of aging ranch houses and newer hillside builds is familiar territory for our technicians. Roy Castellanos built this operation on The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, and leave the site clean. That standard travels with every crew that heads up the 38 toward Mentone.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s arriving before they knock. The price we write down before work starts is the price you pay. No add-ons at the door, no per-vent surprises. Every duct sealing job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the seal fails or the leak returns within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.

Duct Repair in Mentone

Duct Repair in Mentone usually means fixing collapsed flex runs, patching rodent damage in crawl spaces, or replacing rusted galvanized sections in homes built before 1980. Most repairs in Mentone fall between $280 and $650, with larger sectional replacements reaching $800 – $1,100 if we need to open walls or access tight attic spaces. We see a lot of original ductwork in the ranch homes south of Mentone Boulevard that has simply reached the end of its service life.

Collapsed and Disconnected Runs

Spring Santa Ana winds and summer heat cycles loosen tape and sag flex duct in Mentone’s older crawl spaces. We reconnect runs, support them properly, and seal the joints so conditioned air actually reaches the rooms you’re paying to cool.

Rodent and Moisture Damage

Mentone’s semi-arid climate doesn’t eliminate moisture problems in crawl spaces and attics. Condensation on cool duct surfaces attracts rodents, and we’ve patched plenty of chewed flex duct in homes near the Santa Ana River wash. We repair the damage and recommend sealing strategies that keep it from happening again.

Air Duct Sealing in Mentone

Air Duct Sealing in Mentone addresses the conditioned air you’re losing to gaps, joints, and seams in your duct system. In a typical Mentone home, 20 – 30% of heated or cooled air leaks into attics, crawl spaces, or wall cavities before it ever reaches a vent. Our sealing jobs run $450 – $1,200 depending on system size and access, and most homeowners see immediate improvements in room-to-room temperature balance and utility bills.

Mastic and Metal-Backed Tape Sealing

For accessible ductwork in Mentone’s open crawl spaces and unfinished attics, we brush on duct mastic, a thick, flexible sealant that outlasts standard tape by decades. We follow with metal-backed tape at joints for a mechanical backup. This is the standard for homes with galvanized or early flex systems.

Aerosol Duct Sealing Technology

For newer homes with sealed ductwork that’s leaking from the inside, or for systems where access is limited, we use aerosol-based sealing. The equipment pressurizes the duct system and atomizes sealant particles that bond to leak edges from within. It’s particularly effective in the custom homes on Mentone’s east side where tearing into finished spaces isn’t practical.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mentone

We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, and our sealing crews carry Nikro negative-air equipment for pre- and post-sealing pressure testing. For Mentone homeowners, this means no waiting on special orders for standard components. If your system uses Honeywell media filters or an Aprilaire whole-house purifier, we can service the filtration side while we’re sealing the ductwork. Most parts are on the van, and what isn’t we can typically source next-day through our Inland Empire suppliers. We also handle Air Duct Cleaning in Mentone and Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mentone using the same professional-grade equipment.

Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Mentone Homes

• Original galvanized duct with failed seams. Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s along Crafton Avenue and Mentone Boulevard often have rigid galvanized duct where the longitudinal seams have opened. We seal with mastic or replace sections where corrosion has made sealing insufficient.
• Flex duct sagging in crawl spaces. Mentone’s spring wind events and temperature swings cause flex duct to droop and disconnect over time. We support, reconnect, and seal these runs so air flows properly to every register.
• Smoke and ash intrusion degrading seals. After wildfire activity in the San Bernardino National Forest, fine ash works its way into duct systems and accelerates deterioration of tape and mastic. We inspect and reseal systems that have survived multiple fire seasons.
• Additions with unsealed connections. Many Mentone ranch homes have had room additions where the new duct was connected but never properly sealed to the original trunk. We find these leaks with pressure testing and seal them permanently.
