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 Pebble Creek
Duct sealing in Pebble Creek typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system and takes four to six hours on most single-family homes built in the original golf community. We also offer Pebble Creek Dryer Vent Cleaning for homeowners who want their full ventilation system maintained. Our crews dispatch from our Miami office and cover Pebble Creek regularly, so we’re familiar with the specific flex-duct layouts that builders installed here in the 1990s. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve been working in Hillsborough County long enough to know that Pebble Creek homes aren’t like newer subdivisions. The original construction here used flexible ductwork in attics, sized for central AC that runs from April through October without a break. That constant cooling cycle creates condensation, and when those flex runs sag between trusses, moisture collects where homeowners can’t see it. Our Duct Sealing team treats Pebble Creek as a distinct service area because the problems here are distinct. We know the difference between a joint that needs mastic and a sagging run that needs replacement before any sealant goes on.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Pebble Creek’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve built our reputation in Pebble Creek on showing up inside the window and pricing in writing, every time. The Garrison Standard requires it, and we’ve operated under it since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family. Homeowners here tell us the same story: they hired a cheap outfit that sprayed aerosol sealant through their vents, then smelled mildew again within three months. That happens when contractors don’t understand Pebble Creek’s original builder-era duct layouts.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and we use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies, not hardware-store gear. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing: if the seal fails or the odor returns within a year, we come back at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Scheduling for Duct Sealing in Pebble Creek is coordinated from our Miami office, with local crews who know the community’s streets and housing stock. We don’t promise same-day dispatch because duct sealing is a scheduled, diagnostic job, but we do promise we’ll arrive when we said we would.
Duct Repair in Pebble Creek
Duct Repair in Pebble Creek usually means addressing the sagging flex-duct runs that original 1990s construction left in attics throughout the golf community. These flexible ducts soften over twenty to thirty years of heat cycling, dropping between trusses where condensation pools. A typical repair runs $280 – $550 depending on how many sections need replacement versus re-support. We always inspect with a camera first, so you see the problem before we quote the fix.
When Repair Comes Before Sealing
Some Pebble Creek homes need duct repair before any sealing makes sense. Saturated flex duct, collapsed insulation, or rusted metal collars can’t be sealed effectively. We’ll tell you straight if that’s your situation, show you the camera footage, and write the price for repair separately from any sealing work.
Metal Duct and Collar Work
Where original construction used metal trunk lines with flex takeoffs, we repair separated collars and seal with mastic and fiberglass mesh. The metal itself lasts longer than flex, but the connection points fail from vibration and thermal expansion. We fix those with mechanical fasteners, not tape that dries and falls off.
Air Duct Sealing in Pebble Creek
Air Duct Sealing in Pebble Creek addresses the conditioned air leaking from joints, collars, and punctures in ductwork before it ever reaches your rooms. On a typical 2,000-square-foot home here, we find 15 – 25% air loss through leaks in the attic, which means your AC works harder and your upstairs bedrooms stay warm. Whole-home sealing runs $450 – $850, with larger homes or complex attic layouts toward the higher end. We use mastic and mesh on accessible joints, and aerosol sealant only after source removal and negative-pressure cleaning, so we’re not pushing grit deeper into your system.
Source Removal Before Sealing
We never seal over dirty ducts. Our Nikro negative-air machines pull debris out while rotary brushes agitate the interior, so the sealant bonds to clean metal or flex, not to dust and biological growth. In Pebble Creek’s humid climate, sealing over contamination traps moisture and guarantees mold returns within one summer.
Mastic Versus Aerosol Methods
Accessible joints in Pebble Creek attics get hand-brushed mastic with reinforcing mesh. It’s slower than spraying, but it lasts. We reserve aerosol sealant for leaks inside finished walls or long trunk runs where hand application isn’t possible, and only after the duct interior is clean and dry.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pebble Creek
We stock parts and filtration products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Pebble Creek homeowners, which means faster turnaround when your system needs components matched to your existing equipment. Our rotary brush systems come from Rotobrush, and our negative-air machines from Nikro, the same brands commercial crews use in hospitals and schools. When we seal your ducts, we can also upgrade your filtration to a properly sized Aprilaire media cleaner, installed with the same written price and 365-Day Done Right Promise. No waiting on special orders, no substitutions you didn’t agree to.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Pebble Creek Homes
- Sagging flex duct holding condensate. In the original 1990s homes off Pebble Creek Drive and Tournament Drive, flex runs soften and drop between trusses, creating low spots where moisture collects. Homeowners smell mustiness and blame the golf course ponds, but it’s their own ductwork breeding mildew.
- Aerosol sealant applied over dirty ducts. Competitors spray sealant through vents without cleaning first, which pushes Pebble Creek’s fine sandy grit and pollen deeper into the system and traps it against the duct walls.
- Outdoor intakes pulling in debris. Homes backing onto open land or the golf course itself draw in pollen, grass clippings, and dust through poorly screened intakes, re-contaminating ducts within weeks of a seal job.
- Sealed joints that never addressed the root moisture. Mastic over a wet joint looks fine on day one, but Pebble Creek’s humidity from April through October reactivates the leak, and the mold cycle starts again.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Pebble Creek
Every 8 – 12 years, or sooner if you notice uneven cooling, musty odors, or rising electric bills. The constant AC runtime in Pebble Creek’s climate ages flex duct faster than in northern markets. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect with a camera to tell you where your system stands.
Only if the sealing contractor first addresses sagging flex duct that’s holding condensate. The pond smell is usually mildew in your ducts, not the ponds themselves. We replace saturated sections, then seal, and the odor clears within one cooling cycle. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free inspection.
MERV 11 is the practical ceiling for most residential systems here; higher ratings restrict airflow and strain older equipment. After sealing, your ducts move air more efficiently, so a MERV 11 filter from Aprilaire or Guardsman catches pollen and fine dust without overworking the blower. We size it to your system during the seal job.
Yes, if the ductwork is metal or flex in accessible condition. Outbuilding systems here often lack proper insulation and draw in dust from unpaved driveways and open land. We inspect first, quote repair or sealing separately, and apply the same written price and 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Four to six hours for most 1,800 – 2,500 square foot homes in the original golf community. Add two to three hours if source removal and negative-air cleaning are needed first. We schedule morning arrivals, finish same day, and leave the site clean. Call (361) 326-5060 to book.
