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.

Wellington’s not a generic South Florida suburb. Between the equestrian estates, the Mediterranean-style homes built from the 1980s through the 2020s, and the year-round arena activity, your ductwork faces a specific set of stresses: fine arena sand abrading flex seams, horsehair packing into return trunks, and hurricane-season humidity driving moisture into attic runs. We handle Duct Sealing in Wellington with that reality in mind, not a one-size-fits-all approach from some other county.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Wellington’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been doing this since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve learned that Wellington homeowners don’t want a sales pitch. They want a crew that shows up uniformed, background-checked, and ready to explain what their ducts are actually doing. Our technicians arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how every Hollis location operates, including ours serving Wellington.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every duct sealing job in writing. If the seal fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. No negotiation, no runaround. We also document post-storm duct condition with moisture readings, camera inspection, and pressure testing so your insurer can see exactly which runs can be cleaned and resealed and which ones need replacement. That documentation has helped Wellington homeowners through more than one claims dispute after water intrusion.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday when your attic duct is dripping.
Duct Sealing Services in Wellington
Duct Sealing Services in Wellington start with understanding what your system is actually losing. In a typical Wellington home, 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air escapes through leaks in the ductwork before it ever reaches your rooms. That means your AC runs longer, your bills climb, and the humidity South Florida throws at you never gets properly controlled. Our duct sealing targets those leaks with pressure-tested, documented results.
We don’t seal over problems. In Wellington, that means checking for arena sand and horsehair accumulation first, testing for moisture after any storm or flood event, and verifying that the duct board or flex isn’t degraded beyond repair. A typical whole-system duct sealing job in Wellington runs $1,200 to $2,800 depending on home size, duct accessibility, and whether we need to remove contamination before sealing. We give you that range in writing before we start.
Pressure Testing and Documentation
We pressurize your duct system and measure leakage at the air handler and each zone. You get the before-and-after numbers. In Wellington, this matters for insurance claims and for proving the job was done right. Our techs use manometers and digital gauges, not guesswork.

Mastic Sealing and Joint Reinforcement
We apply Guardsman mastic and reinforced mesh to seams, joints, and register boots. In sand-heavy Wellington environments, we make sure the substrate is clean first so the seal actually bonds. Aerosol sealant has its place, but for abraded flex runs we prefer hand-applied mastic we can inspect.

Duct Insulation in Wellington
Duct Insulation in Wellington protects against the one enemy every attic duct faces here: condensation from relentless humidity. When cool air moves through uninsulated or poorly insulated metal duct in a 140-degree Wellington attic, moisture forms on the outside, drips onto ceiling drywall, and breeds mold inside the duct liner. Proper insulation stops the condensation cycle and keeps your conditioned air at temperature until it reaches the vent.
Most Wellington homes built before the mid-2000s have thin fiberglass wrap that’s compressed, torn, or missing entirely at the seams. Re-insulating typically runs $800 to $1,800 for a standard single-family home, with larger equestrian estates and multi-zone systems running higher. We use professional-grade materials from Abatement Technologies and specify R-values appropriate for South Florida’s climate, not northern standards that don’t account for our heat load.
Vapor Barrier Replacement
The outer jacket on duct insulation is your vapor barrier. Once it’s torn or the tape has failed, humid attic air reaches the fiberglass and the metal duct beneath. We replace compromised vapor barriers with sealed, taped systems that hold up in Wellington’s year-round heat.
Attic Duct Encapsulation
For badly degraded runs, we sometimes recommend full encapsulation: new insulation wrapped and sealed as a continuous system. It’s more than a patch job. In Wellington homes with extensive duct networks serving multiple barns or guest quarters, this can be the only approach that delivers consistent temperature control.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We stock parts and materials from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman so Wellington jobs don’t wait on shipping. Our rotary brush systems and negative-air machines handle the sand and hair load unique to equestrian properties, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wellington expertise means we can also clear lint buildup from dryer vents while we’re on site. When your system uses Honeywell, Aprilaire, or other major filtration brands, we know how sealing affects static pressure and airflow across those components. Fast turnaround matters here, especially when you’re trying to schedule around Wellington’s show season.
Common Duct Sealing Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Sealing over damp duct board after water intrusion. Hurricane-driven rain gets into attic vents and soffits, soaking fiberglass duct liner. Seal the leak without drying and testing first, and you’ve trapped mold that will spread through every room within a season. We moisture-test every post-storm job.
- Applying mastic to sand-abraded seams without source removal. Arena sand and horsehair prevent proper adhesion. The seal looks fine for a month, then peels at the joint. We agitate and extract under negative pressure with HEPA filtration before we seal.
- Sealing supply and return ducts but ignoring the air handler cabinet and register boots. These are leak points too. In Wellington’s humid attics, unsealed boots pull hot, moist air directly into the system, undoing the work you paid for on the trunk lines.
- Using aerosol sealant as a shortcut on flex runs. Aerosol works for hard duct in some applications, but on sand-damaged flex with compromised jackets, it won’t bond. We hand-seal these with mastic and mesh so the repair lasts.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Wellington, FL
A typical whole-system duct sealing in Wellington runs $1,200 to $2,800. Duct insulation runs $800 to $1,800. What moves you within those ranges? Home size and duct linear footage come first. A 3,000-square-foot Mediterranean with four zones and extensive attic runs costs more than a compact ranch. Accessibility matters too: ducts buried under blown insulation or crammed behind water heaters take longer to reach. And if we need to perform source removal of arena sand, horsehair, or post-storm debris before sealing, that adds labor and HEPA filtration time.
We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate. We’ll inspect your ductwork, pressure-test if indicated, and hand you a written number you can compare.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Wellington
We document the decision with moisture readings, camera inspection, and pressure testing so your insurer can see the difference. If the duct board is saturated, delaminated, or shows mold growth inside the liner, replacement is the only sound option. If the water reached only the exterior insulation and the inner duct is intact and drying, we can clean, disinfect, and reseal. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll inspect before you file your claim.
Yes, but only if we remove the contamination first. Sealing a leak while sand and hair remain inside traps the abrasive material against the joint, and the seal will fail. We source-remove under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then seal with Guardsman mastic. In Palm Beach Point and Saddle Trail, we schedule this work around your barn activity so you’re not dealing with dust during critical times.
Because Wellington’s fine arena sand passes visual inspection while it abrades flex-seam sealant from the inside. A duct can look fine yet leak 25 percent of its air. We pressure-test to find what your eyes can’t see. Camera inspection shows the sand and hair packed at joints that appear intact from the outside.
Proper sealing improves filtration performance by reducing bypass air. When ducts leak, your system pulls unfiltered attic air into the return, overwhelming the filter. After sealing, more air moves through the filter media at the designed velocity, so your MERV 11 or 13 filter actually performs at its rating instead of being diluted by dirty attic air.
Schedule during the quieter months between major show circuits, typically late spring and early fall, when barn traffic and arena activity are lower and dust generation is reduced. That lets us do thorough source removal without recontaminating the system immediately. We also avoid peak hurricane season when possible so you’re not sealing ducts that may need post-storm inspection. Call (361) 326-5060 to check availability.
