According to Energy Star, leaky overhead ductwork contributes to up to 30% of wasted energy. If you have older above ground air ducts chances are they probably have some leaks. And chances also are your system is running inefficiently and leaving you with higher than normal energy bills.

Trenchless Innovations seals your leaky air ducts, giving you greater home comfort and maximizing the efficiency of your overhead duct system. The EPA estimates that indoor air is two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Considering how much time you spend in your home, this is a pretty scary statistic. Our process of sealing your above-ground ducts promotes healthier air by ensuring that contaminants, such as dust, dirt and other debris are contained and therefore, will never find a way into the air in your home or business.

Commonly found in commercial overhead duct systems, fiberglass duct liner provides great insulation and sound reduction. The downside? Fiberglass fibers that break free and float throughout the system. Additionally, odors often get trapped in the liner, therefore, making them nearly impossible to remove and leaving a lingering smell throughout your home or business. Our process of encapsulation locks down and seals in these loose fibers and odors, thus, permanently preventing them from entering the air.

Sheet metal ducts are the most common form of ducting found in homes. They are long-lasting, affordable, and provide optimal airflow for heating and cooling systems. Flexible ducts, which are formed of a plastic or metal wire helix wrapped in insulation, are also common due to their adaptability in compact places. However, they are less durable than sheet metal ducts and may be damaged if not installed properly. The correct ducting is determined by considerations such as space limits, budget, and HVAC system specifications.

Yes, servicing your air ducts can significantly reduce allergies. Over time, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens can accumulate in your ductwork. When the HVAC system operates, these allergens circulate throughout your home, potentially exacerbating allergy symptoms. Professional air duct cleaning removes these contaminants, improving indoor air quality and reducing the presence of allergens. Regular servicing can help maintain a cleaner, healthier living environment, making it especially beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.
