Underground Duct Lining FAQs

To fix underground ductwork without tearing up your house involves duct lining. The duct lining process seals ducts directly through the registers with a liquid liner. When the liquid liner hardens, it seals the duct, protecting it against dirt, debris, and mold.

Depending on the type of duct booster you get and its purpose, a duct booster can be effective. However, if you are using a duct booster to compensate for an issue with your HVAC system, it will only serve as a temporary solution. Additionally, duct boosters will not be able to make up for leaky and ineffective ductwork. Duct boosters are most effective when they are used to help air pass through long and complex ductwork. To learn more about duct boosters, give us a call today.

An air duct and an air vent both help to assist your HVAC system in effectively heating and cooling your home. Your air ducts are the channel through which the air in your home is transferred to your HVAC system after it is pulled in by the supply vent. Once the air is heated or cooled, it passes through the rest of the ductwork until it reaches a vent. The vent is at the end of a network of ductwork and allows the air to exit from the air ducts. To find out more about your ducts and vents, contact us today.

Smaller systems or minor repairs may be completed within a day, while larger or more complex systems may require additional time. Scheduling a professional inspection can provide a more accurate timeframe based on your specific ductwork needs.

Trenchless Casting

It has been our experience that in some cases, the condition of underground air ducts are so severely deteriorated that there is no longer any structure left to them.

In these cases, Trenchless Casting serves as a way to restore structural integrity back into the ducts so they can then be spray lined with Duct Armor.

Your air duct repair could be easy and effective with our duct lining solutions.

Trenchless Casting is most commonly used to restore the structural integrity of galvanized and cardboard (sonotube) ducts that have deteriorated due to rust or elements over time. Although not used with every restoration project, it provides additional strength to our lining process for pipes in pretty serious disrepair.

What are the benefits of Trenchless Casting? There are several:

  • Our process gives you brand new pipe within your old pipe, making them suitable for duct lining.

  • Trenchless Innovations provides a 15 year warranty on the process, but we know it will last much longer!

  • Used in conjunction with duct lining, the trenchless casting provides an agent for our Duct Armor product to better bond to. A great combination that results in new, strong and long-lasting pipes for years to come – and no worries for you!
