What Happens During a Duct Inspection?
A real duct inspection feeds a camera into every accessible run to visually check for leaks at joints and connections, crushed or kinked sections, and dust or debris buildup — rather than relying on a guess based on symptoms alone. It's the step that determines whether your home needs sealing, replacement, or nothing at all.
What the Camera Checks For
• Disconnected or loose joints, especially at boots and takeoffs
• Crushed or kinked flex duct, common in attics where it's been stepped on
• Visible debris, dust buildup, or signs of pest activity
• Insulation condition on runs through unconditioned space
What's Accessible vs. Not
Ductwork in an open attic or crawlspace is straightforward to inspect visually and with a camera. Ducts buried in finished walls or ceilings are harder to access directly — in those cases, we rely more on airflow testing and the symptom pattern (from signs of leaky ducts) to narrow down likely problem areas.
What You Get Afterward
A specific report: which runs have leaks, how severe, and whether sealing or replacement is the right fix for what we actually found — not a generic recommendation based on the home's age alone.
