Duct Sealing (Mastic, Accessible Runs) in Alamo Heights, TX
Where the ductwork is reachable — attic trunks, crawlspace runs, the takeoffs and boots at the air handler — the honest fix is a brush and a bucket of mastic. We locate and photograph the leaks first, then hand-seal each connection: takeoff collars, boot-to-drywall joints, plenum seams, and every place foil tape has dried out and curled away. Mastic with fabric mesh embedded over the wider gaps, UL 181-listed tape only where the manufacturer specifies it. This costs a fraction of aerosol sealing and does the same job on connections a technician can reach. It cannot touch a leak buried in a sealed chase — if that is where your losses are, we will say so and quote the aerosol method instead. Price follows joint count and how much of the system is genuinely accessible. Serving Alamo Heights (1 ZIP codes, 8k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Alamo Heights, TX
Most of what stands inside the Alamo Heights city limits predates the era when central air was designed into a house rather than added to it. On these 78209 streets, Spanish Colonial, Tudor revival and 1920s bungalow stock, the ductwork was threaded in later: through attics that were never meant to be conditioned, through pier-and-beam crawl spaces, around plaster walls that left no room for a chase. What you have is a retrofit, sometimes the second or third one, and no two houses on the same block took the same path. So we map the system before we clean it. Heating here is split roughly down the middle between gas furnaces and electric equipment, which means neighbors can have genuinely different dust and humidity behavior. And the live oak canopy that makes these streets what they are loads returns hard from late December through March. Sometimes the honest answer is better filtration, not a cleaning.
