We Solve Your Underground Ducting Issues

Over time, underground ducting begins to show signs of deterioration. This is especially true in older homes, homes with transite pipe or homes with water drainage problems. In the past, correcting deteriorated underground ducts was nearly impossible without tearing up your home or converting to an overhead duct system.

Here is where Trenchless Innovations steps in. Our innovative underground air duct lining process offers a viable alternative to costly overhead HVAC system conversions. This is especially true in our cold-weather climate because with an overhead system, vents are found in the ceiling. And because heat naturally rises, it stays at ceiling level, leaving occupants literally with cold feet and hot heads. Furthermore, open-concept homes have limited ability to install an overhead system without the need for major construction work.

Underground Ducting FAQs

Running ductwork underground is possible, but it requires careful planning and the use of appropriate materials. Underground ducts should be well-insulated and sealed to prevent energy loss and infiltration of moisture. It’s crucial to follow local building codes, consider soil conditions, and use materials resistant to corrosion. Proper support and protection against ground movement are essential. Consulting with HVAC professionals or engineers can help determine the feasibility and best practices for running ductwork underground in your specific situation.

Underground ductwork is used for various purposes, such as distributing conditioned air between buildings or connecting different parts of a facility. It can be employed in commercial and industrial settings, providing an efficient way to deliver heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to spaces where above-ground ductwork may not be practical. Proper insulation and protection against moisture and corrosion are essential for the successful implementation of underground ductwork systems.

Well-designed and properly installed ducts can last several decades. Common materials for underground ductwork include galvanized steel or PVC, chosen for their durability and resistance to corrosion. Regular inspections and preventive maintenance, such as ensuring proper drainage and sealing, contribute to longevity. Consulting with HVAC professionals and following local building codes help ensure the effectiveness and extended lifespan of underground ductwork systems.

Underground ducting offers several advantages for HVAC systems, making it a preferred choice for many homeowners and builders. Here are some key benefits:

  • Energy efficiency: Underground ducts maintain a more consistent temperature, reducing energy loss.
  • Aesthetics: Ducts hidden underground eliminate visible ductwork, enhancing the home’s design.
  • Noise reduction: Underground installations minimize noise, providing a quieter indoor environment.
  • Protection: Ducts are safeguarded from weather elements and physical damage.
  • Space-saving: This method frees up living space, allowing for better interior design options.

Maintaining underground ducting is essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your HVAC system. Here are some key maintenance tasks to consider:

  • Regular inspections: Periodically check for signs of damage or blockages.
  • Cleaning: Schedule professional cleaning to remove dust, debris, and mold that can accumulate in ducts.
  • Seal checks: Inspect duct seals for leaks or deterioration to maintain energy efficiency.
  • Moisture control: Ensure proper drainage around ducts to prevent moisture buildup.
  • Airflow assessments: Monitor airflow regularly to identify and address any performance issues promptly.

Benefits of Duct Lining

During the process, underground air ducts are lined directly through the registers with a liquid liner that hardens into a rubberized duct, correcting problems such as mold and deterioration that allow dirt, sand and other debris to enter the air in your home. The result? A quick, long-lasting and environmentally-friendly solution that completely restores your ductwork and vastly improves the air quality in your home or business.

Another benefit of air duct lining? Cost! Nobody likes expensive home repairs, are we right? Air duct lining saves homeowners hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars, while providing a solution that lasts for many years. Who wouldn’t enjoy that?
