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 Pompano Beach
Duct sealing in Pompano Beach typically runs $400 – $850 for a whole-house system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit with the price written down before we start. If your back bedroom never cools or your energy bill keeps climbing despite a new AC unit, the problem is likely in the ductwork, not the compressor. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
We’ve worked in Pompano Beach long enough to know the difference between a beachside condo on A1A and a 1960s ranch off Powerline Road. Our crews dispatch from the Miami office and carry the tools to handle both: Rotobrush rotary systems for agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for containment, and the foil tape and mastic compounds that actually bond to salt-corroded metal. When we quote a job in Pompano Beach, we’re pricing for what we find here, not what a manual says about generic Florida homes.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Pompano Beach’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
Hollis Air Duct Cleaning has been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. In Pompano Beach, that track record matters because the housing stock here predates most of the city’s recent growth, and experience with original duct materials separates a proper repair from a temporary patch.
Our Pompano Beach customers call back because the price we write down is the price they pay. No per-vent add-ons, no “we found another problem” upsells once the van is in the driveway. The 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 and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive inside the quoted window. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you’re not waiting until Monday to schedule. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we operate in Pompano Beach.
Duct Repair in Pompano Beach
Duct Repair in Pompano Beach is often the step that has to happen before sealing can do any good. In this market, we regularly open up ceiling cavities or crawl spaces to find flex duct that has detached from the trunk line, crushed runs flattened by decades of storage or renovation, and mastic joints that cracked when the house settled on its slab.
A typical duct repair in Pompano Beach runs $250 – $600 depending on accessibility and how much material needs replacement. We always inspect with a duct camera before quoting, so you’re not paying for sealing over a disconnected run that will still leak.
Disconnected Runs in Older Ranches
The 1950s – 60s concrete-block ranches near Palm Aire and the beach often have original flex duct that has pulled completely away from the supply trunk. Sealing over that gap just traps conditioned air inside the wall cavity. Our crew reattaches the run with mechanical fasteners, then seals the joint properly.
Crushed or Collapsed Sections
Attic storage, rodent pressure, or a careless HVAC filter change can crush a flex duct run flat. We replace the damaged section with new insulated flex, match the R-value to what the rest of the system uses, and seal all connections with mastic and foil tape rated for Florida humidity.
Air Duct Sealing in Pompano Beach
Air Duct Sealing in Pompano Beach closes the gaps, cracks, and failed joints that let conditioned air escape before it reaches your rooms. In a subtropical climate where systems run eight or nine months a year, even a 15% duct leakage rate can add $30 – $50 monthly to your FPL bill. More importantly here, those gaps pull hot, humid attic air and salt-laden outside air directly into the airflow.
Whole-house air duct sealing in Pompano Beach typically costs $400 – $850. We price by the system, not by the vent, and we write the number down before touching anything. The job includes pressure testing to establish your baseline leakage, manual sealing of accessible joints with mastic and foil tape, and a post-repair pressure test to confirm the improvement.
Mastic Application on Metal Trunks
Older metal ductwork near the beach carries a fine salt film that standard tape won’t adhere to. We clean the seam with a specialized prep solution, apply UL-181-rated mastic in a continuous bead, and embed foil tape for mechanical backup. The bond lasts in Pompano Beach’s humidity.
Sealing After Source Removal
Sealing a dirty duct just traps the problem. When our Duct Sealing team finds heavy accumulation, we perform NADCA-standard source removal first, using HEPA-filtered negative-air machines and rotary agitation tools. Then we seal. The homeowner gets clean, tight ducts, not clean leaks.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pompano Beach
We stock parts and materials from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman for Pompano Beach jobs, plus the Rotobrush and Nikro equipment we use in the field. That inventory means we’re not ordering mastic or replacement flex duct after we arrive. For a beachside condo on a Saturday or a Palm Aire ranch on a Tuesday, the van carries what the job needs. We also source Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration products when a sealing job reveals the system needs better particle control. Fast turnaround matters in a climate where going without AC for even a day is not a realistic option.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Pompano Beach Homes
- Salt film corrosion on beachside metal ducts. Ocean breezes along A1A and the Intracoastal deposit a fine salt residue inside ductwork that corrodes seams and prevents mastic from bonding. We clean before we seal, every time.
- Disconnected flex duct in 1950s – 60s ranches. Original installations near Palm Aire and the older neighborhoods off Powerline Road used tape that dried out decades ago. The flex pulls away from the trunk and leaks into the attic or wall cavity.
- Condensation in newer inland townhomes. Tight ductwork in developments west of I-95 can trap moisture from Pompano Beach’s high humidity. Sealing a moist duct without addressing the source traps mold spores that will recolonize.
- Failed mastic joints from thermal cycling. Attics in Pompano Beach reach 140°F in summer and drop to 50°F on winter mornings. That expansion and contraction cracks rigid mastic. We use flexible, fiber-reinforced compounds rated for the cycle count.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Pompano Beach, FL
Whole-house duct sealing in Pompano Beach runs $400 – $850 for a typical single-family system. Duct repair, when needed first, adds $250 – $600. We do not quote per-vent prices because that structure invites bait-and-switch tactics we won’t participate in.
What moves the number: accessibility (crawl space versus open attic), how much of the original duct needs replacement versus sealing, and whether we find mold or salt corrosion that requires cleaning before sealing can begin. Every estimate is free, written, and fixed before work starts. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Pompano Beach
Salt-laden ocean air corrodes metal duct seams and prevents standard sealing materials from bonding properly. Beachside condos on A1A and near the Intracoastal see this corrosion accelerate, so joints that might hold for a decade inland need attention every few years here. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect with a duct camera to show you exactly what the salt has done.
We find original flex duct that has detached from the trunk, mastic joints that dried and cracked before 1980, and a sticky salt-dust residue that standard vacuums can’t remove without specialized cleaning solutions. We pulled a crushed, disconnected supply run out of a 1958 concrete-block ranch near Palm Aire, where decades of lint and salt film had caked the original flex duct and a failed mastic joint was leaking into the wall cavity. After a NADCA-standard source removal pass with agitation tools and HEPA filtration under negative pressure, our tech re-sealed the trunk with foil tape and mastic, reconnected the run, and camera-confirmed the supply and return ducts were tight. The homeowner noticed the mold smell gone and the back bedroom finally cooling like the rest of the house.
Sealing alone does not stop mold if the duct interior is already contaminated or if the system generates condensation from poor insulation. Sealing stops the infiltration of humid outside air that feeds mold growth, but we often recommend antimicrobial treatment or insulation repair as part of the same job. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our work for a full year if the problem returns.
If one room never reaches the thermostat setting, if you feel airflow from a ceiling vent that should be closed, or if your energy bill jumped without a rate increase, you likely have a disconnected or crushed run that cleaning won’t fix. We camera-inspect before quoting any job in Pompano Beach, so you’ll see the damage before deciding on repair versus cleaning alone.
Sealing helps by closing the gaps that pull new salt-laden air into the system, but existing salt film must be removed first or it will continue to corrode and contaminate airflow. We clean with specialized solutions that break the salt-dust bond, then seal to keep new contamination out. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate that includes both steps if needed.
