Duct Repair & Replacement in Katy, TX
Cleaning cannot fix a run that is crushed flat behind a truss, torn open on a nail, or lying disconnected on the attic insulation pulling superheated attic air straight into your system. We find these on camera, and they explain a lot of long-running complaints: the room that never cools, the summer bill that climbs every year, dust that reappears weeks after a cleaning. Repair means new flex or rigid duct, properly supported so it cannot sag or kink, both collars sealed with mastic rather than tape alone, and insulation restored to the code in force where you live. The starting price covers one accessible run. It moves with run length, how many runs are involved, attic or crawlspace access, and whether the boot and takeoff also need replacing — quoted in writing before anything is opened up. Serving Katy (7 ZIP codes, 22k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Katy, TX
Katy is a young housing market with an old water story, and both shape what your ductwork needs. A large share of homes inside the city were finished after 2010, which means the systems have not been running long enough to collect much of anything from use. What they carry instead is construction debris left in the boots before the registers went on, and that is a single cleanup rather than a recurring service. The water part matters differently. Homes in the reservoir and bayou watersheds have taken on floodwater in the past, and duct liner, insulation and air handlers that were submerged cannot be restored by cleaning. They get replaced. Katy also leans heavily on gas furnaces, most of them mounted in the attic, where nine idle humid months leave dust on a cold cabinet and produce a strong burning smell on the first cold morning. That smell usually starts at the furnace, not in the duct.
