Your ducts carry every bit of heated and cooled air through the house. When they leak, sag or come apart, you pay to condition air that never reaches your rooms. Home Run repairs, seals and replaces residential ductwork for homes in Covington, Conyers, McDonough and nearby Georgia communities.
Signs of Duct Problems
- Rooms that are always too hot or too cold
- Weak airflow from some vents
- Rising energy bills with no change in how you use the system
- Extra dust in the house
- Whistling, rattling or banging in the ducts
- Crushed, sagging or disconnected flex duct in the attic or crawl space
- Sweating ducts or mold on ducts in a humid crawl space
Why It Matters
ENERGY STAR estimates that in a typical house, about 20 to 30 percent of the air moving through the duct system is lost to leaks, holes and poorly connected ducts. In Georgia, many ducts run through hot attics and damp crawl spaces, so leaks also pull in hot, humid or dusty air.

Ductwork FAQs
Should I seal or replace my ducts?
If the ducts are in good shape but leaky, sealing and insulating can be enough. Ducts that are crushed, badly deteriorated or poorly designed usually need to be replaced. We inspect them and explain which applies.
Can bad ductwork cause humidity problems?
Yes. Leaky ducts in crawl spaces and attics can pull humid air into the system, and ducts that sweat can drip water in the crawl space. See crawl space moisture control.
