Restore rusted metal and in-slab air ducts from the inside, with no digging
Signs of rusty ducts, and how we restore them
Why Do Air Ducts Rust?
Metal air ducts can rust when they are exposed to moisture over time. In Albuquerque, this is common in ducts that run through or under a concrete slab, where ground moisture, leaks or condensation can reach them. Evaporative coolers can also add moisture to a duct system.
Signs of rusty ducts include rust flakes or reddish dust around vents, musty smells, extra dust in the house, weak airflow, and holes or soft spots found during an inspection.
We start every job with a video inspection, so you can see the condition of your ducts and get an accurate quote. Then we prepare the ducts and coat them from the inside to seal holes and restore their structure, without tearing out the ducts or breaking up your slab. Duct restoration is backed by our 15-year warranty.
