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 Plantation
We run our Duct Sealing crews out of our Miami dispatch office, and we’re typically on-site in Plantation within a day or two of your call. Our technicians know the difference between a 1970s ranch off Broward Boulevard with original galvanized trunks and a newer townhome in Central Park with flex runs that need a different approach. If you’re dealing with post-storm moisture, rising energy bills, or an HOA pre-sale inspection, we’ll show up uniformed, background-checked, and ready to price the job in writing before we touch anything. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Plantation’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been doing this since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve learned that Plantation homes punish ductwork harder than most. The 1960s – 1980s housing stock here, combined with South Florida’s year-round humidity and hurricane exposure, creates failure modes you don’t see inland.
Our crews arrive inside the quoted window, every time. The price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis location operates, including our Plantation Dryer Vent Cleaning team.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job in writing. If the seal fails, the moisture returns, or the repair doesn’t hold, we come back and make it right 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. You’ll know who’s coming to your home before they arrive, and they’ll leave the site clean.
Duct Repair in Plantation
Duct Repair in Plantation often starts with a camera inspection that reveals damage you can’t see from the register. After hurricane season, we find crushed flex runs, separated galvanized seams, and rodent intrusion in the older housing stock off Peters Road and Sunrise Boulevard. A typical duct repair in Plantation runs $280 – $520 depending on accessibility and whether we’re patching a single run or rebuilding a trunk connection.
When Repair Beats Replacement
Galvanized trunks with isolated seam separation or small corrosion spots can be sealed with mastic and mesh, then pressure-tested to confirm the hold. We document the repair with before-and-after photos for your records. This works when the metal is structurally sound and the surrounding insulation is dry.
When Replacement Is the Only Safe Call
Flex duct with saturated insulation, mold growth on the inner liner, or rodent damage through multiple layers cannot be patched reliably. We flag this immediately, explain why, and document it so your insurer or HOA understands the distinction. No guesswork, no pressure.
Air Duct Sealing in Plantation
Air Duct Sealing in Plantation addresses the conditioned air you’re paying to cool that leaks into your attic, crawl space, or wall cavities before it ever reaches your living room. In a typical 1970s Plantation ranch, we measure 25 – 35% airflow loss at the trunk seams and register boots. A whole-system seal in Plantation generally runs $1,800 – $3,200 for single-family homes, with smaller condos and townhomes starting around $1,200.
Mastic Sealing for Lasting Results
We use water-based duct mastic, not tape, on galvanized connections. Tape fails in Plantation’s humidity within two to three years. Mastic flexes with thermal expansion and creates a permanent bond. We apply it with brush and glove under negative pressure so excess material is captured, not left in your attic.
Pressure Testing After the Seal
Every sealing job gets a post-work pressure test. We measure total system leakage against the pre-seal baseline and show you the numbers. If we don’t hit the improvement we quoted, we keep working until we do. That’s The Garrison Code in practice.
Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We stock components from Guardsman and Honeywell for sealing and filtration work, and we carry Aprilaire media filters for homeowners upgrading their return air systems while we’re in the attic. Our rotary brush systems from Rotobrush handle the mechanical cleaning that must happen before any seal can adhere properly. For Plantation customers, this means faster turnaround, no waiting on parts from Miami, and repairs that match the original equipment specs. We don’t substitute generic components and hope they hold.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Sloppy post-storm “drying” that reseals wet flex. Some crews tape or wrap saturated flex runs without taking moisture readings first. Mold returns within weeks, and the insurer denies the second claim because the initial work created the conditions for recurrence.
- HOA-driven pre-sale jobs that skip camera inspection. In Jacaranda and Plantation Isles, we’ve found tree debris and old hurricane-tape residue pushed deep into ducts by roof damage, invisible from the register. A surface clean doesn’t satisfy the HOA or protect the buyer.
- Tape-only repairs on galvanized runs that still weep moisture. After a hurricane, humidity reopens the seam by the next rainy season. The register reads wet again, and the homeowner pays twice for the same problem.
- Undocumented work that insurers reject. Plantation carriers want photo evidence, moisture readings, and a clear statement of what was sealed versus what was replaced. We deliver that documentation on every job.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Plantation
It depends on where the water went and how long it sat. Flex duct with saturated insulation or mold on the inner liner must be replaced; galvanized trunks that are externally damp but structurally sound can often be dried, sealed, and pressure-tested. We use camera inspection and moisture readings to make the call, then document it so your insurer accepts the recommendation. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free assessment.
Yes, if the report includes dated photos, moisture meter readings, and a clear scope of work with before-and-after documentation. We format our reports to match what Plantation-area carriers and adjusters expect to see. The photo evidence matters more than the verbal description.
Within 48 – 72 hours if you suspect water entered the ductwork. Mold colonizes quickly in South Florida humidity, and insurers look at response time when evaluating claims. We prioritize storm calls and can often inspect within a day or two.
It helps by preventing outside air from entering the system and overwhelming your dehumidification capacity. Sealed ducts move the air you paid to condition, not attic air that’s 90 degrees and saturated. The result is more even cooling and less strain on your equipment.
HOAs in master-planned communities want documented proof that the system is clean, functional, and free of moisture damage that could affect the next owner. Our reports satisfy these requirements because they include camera evidence, moisture readings, and a written scope signed by a background-checked technician. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule the inspection your HOA or buyer needs.
