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 Plymouth
Duct sealing in Plymouth, MA typically costs $450 – $1,200 for a whole-home seal, depending on system size and accessibility, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. If you’re noticing uneven heating between rooms, dust blowing from registers, or utility bills that climb every winter despite the thermostat staying put, your ductwork is likely leaking conditioned air into your attic or crawlspace.
We’ve worked in Plymouth homes long enough to know the patterns. The 1970s Capes off Long Pond Road with flex duct chewed through by squirrels. The Pinehills townhomes where garage pressure pulls fumes through unsealed plenum connections. The waterfront colonials near Brewster Gardens where salt air corrodes metal fittings over decades. Our crews dispatch from the Boston office and serve Plymouth directly, so we’re familiar with the local building stock, the permitting environment, and the specific ways this coastal climate beats up HVAC systems. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Plymouth’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s arriving before they pull in. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no voicemail loops.

We don’t bait with a low teaser and switch at the door. The price you approve is the price you pay. In a market where seasonal rentals turn over fast and some outfits treat Plymouth as a summer-money stop, we build repeat business by doing the job by the book.
Duct Repair in Plymouth
Duct Repair in Plymouth often starts with a homeowner noticing one room that never warms up, or a sudden spike in heating costs after a nor’easter. We find disconnected runs in crawlspaces, crushed flex duct behind finished basements, and corrosion at galvanized joints in the older colonials near the waterfront. Typical duct repair in Plymouth runs $280 – $650 for reconnection and patching of accessible sections.
Disconnected Runs in Crawlspaces
Plymouth’s high water table, especially in low-lying areas like Ellisville, keeps crawlspaces damp year-round. Metal hangers corrode, tape adhesive fails, and sections of duct simply drop. We reconnect using mechanical fasteners and sealed mastic, not duct tape, because tape fails in this humidity.
Damage from Rodents and Seasonal Vacancy
Second homes sitting empty through January attract white-footed mice. We see chewed flex duct in Manomet Capes and Pinehills condos every spring. Repair requires cutting out damaged sections, installing new flex or rigid pipe, and sealing entry points so the problem doesn’t repeat in six months.
Air Duct Sealing in Plymouth
Air Duct Sealing in Plymouth addresses the leaks you can’t see: gaps at the plenum, seams between sections, and penetrations into unconditioned attics where your paid heat escapes into the Cape Cod air. A typical whole-home seal in Plymouth runs $450 – $1,200, with larger homes in Pinehills or Redbrook at the higher end due to system complexity.
Mastic Sealing at Joints and Plenums
We brush on duct sealing mastic, a thick, fiber-reinforced compound that remains flexible for decades. Unlike tape, it won’t dry out or peel in Plymouth’s freeze-thaw cycles. The plenum connection at your furnace is the most common leak point we find, especially in homes where the original builder never sealed it.
Aeroseal for Hard-to-Reach Leaks
When ductwork is buried behind finished walls or packed into tight Cape attics, we may recommend aerosolized sealant injection. This pressurizes the system and seals leaks from the inside, reaching spots no brush can. It’s particularly effective in the 1980s-90s homes off Long Pond Road where galvanized duct was installed before sealing was standard practice.
Trusted Brands We Service in Plymouth
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. We stock common sealing materials and replacement duct sections locally, so Plymouth jobs don’t wait on parts shipments. When we encounter a failed Honeywell electronic air cleaner or an Aprilaire media cabinet with a compromised seal, we can address it during the same visit rather than scheduling a return trip.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Plymouth Homes
- Original 1980s-90s galvanized duct never sealed. Many Plymouth ranches and Capes were built with ductwork that relied on friction fit and hope. Decades later, these joints leak 15 – 30 percent of conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces. We seal or replace depending on corrosion level.
- Salt air corrosion at metal fittings. Coastal homes near Warren Cove or White Horse Beach see accelerated rust at duct seams and hangers. The metal doesn’t just leak; it fails structurally. We replace corroded sections with properly sealed modern materials.
- Seasonal homes with rodent-compromised flex duct. After a winter of vacancy, spring opening often reveals chewed duct and nesting debris in seasonal rentals. Sealing without cleaning first traps contaminants; we typically pair duct sealing with our Air Duct Cleaning in Plymouth for these properties.
- Unsealed plenum connections in high-efficiency retrofits. Pinehills and Redbrook homes often have modern furnaces with sealed combustion, but the original duct plenum was never properly joined. The pressure imbalance pulls garage fumes and attic dust into living spaces.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Plymouth, MA
Whole-home duct sealing in Plymouth typically runs $450 – $1,200. Small Capes with accessible basements and straight duct runs fall at the lower end. Larger homes in Pinehills or Redbrook with multiple zones, complex attic routing, or Aeroseal application reach the higher range. Duct repair for disconnected or damaged sections runs $280 – $650.
What moves the price: system size, duct accessibility (crawlspace work costs more than basement), extent of damage requiring repair before sealing, and whether we pair sealing with cleaning or dryer vent service. We also handle Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plymouth if your laundry exhaust needs attention while we’re on site.

We work throughout Plymouth including Chiltonville, Manomet, Pinehills, Redbrook, Ellisville, and the waterfront historic district near Brewster Gardens. Our Boston-based dispatch coordinates crews for all Plymouth zip codes. If you’re in a seasonal rental off Long Pond Road or a year-round home in Pinehills, we know the local duct configurations.
We do not advertise emergency dispatch for duct sealing because it is a scheduled job, not an urgent safety repair. However, our phones are answered by a live person 24/7, and we can often schedule within a few days for active leaks causing significant heating loss or indoor air quality concerns. For true HVAC emergencies, we recommend contacting your heating contractor first.
Plymouth pricing is comparable to Kingston and Marshfield, though seasonal homes here sometimes require more prep work due to rodent damage or corrosion from salt air. Scituate and Abington share similar cost ranges. We do not charge travel fees within our standard service area.
