Fast, Reliable Duct Sealing Across Plantation
Duct sealing in Plantation stops conditioned air from leaking out of your ductwork before it ever reaches your living spaces. In a city where afternoon thunderstorms roll in from the Everglades from May through October, leaky ducts don’t just waste money. They pull in humid outside air, which condenses inside the system, settles in low spots, and accelerates mold and rust. We’ve been inside enough Plantation attics to know exactly what that looks like. If your ducts are leaking, call us at (754) 354-3644 for a written, no-pressure estimate.
Why Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale Is Plantation’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
Hollis Air Duct Fort Lauderdale serves Plantation homeowners under The Garrison Standard. That’s not a slogan.

We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, in business since 2004. Our technicians work on Plantation homes every week, from the 1950s ranches near Plantation Central Park to the newer construction out toward Jacaranda and Plantation Acres. That repetition matters. We know which duct layouts in Plantation tend to sag, where moisture collects, and which sealing methods hold up in our humidity. Phones are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail loop. When a storm blows through and you find water in your ducts, you talk to a human being.

Air Duct Sealing in Plantation
Air Duct Sealing in Plantation means closing the gaps, cracks, and failed joints in your duct system so the air your AC produces actually gets to the rooms you live in. Plantation’s older housing stock makes this work especially important. The city has a high proportion of mid-century ranches and 1970s-80s tract homes built with original galvanized ductwork sized for AC-only operation. Decades of heat, humidity, and minor settling have opened seams and strained the connections. Homeowners east of University Drive, where slab-on-grade construction dominates, face a specific problem: low-lying flex ducts that collect standing water after a heavy afternoon thunderstorm, breeding mold and rust that eats through the metal collars and duct board.
Sealing After Water Intrusion
When water sits in a duct, it destroys mastic seals and swells duct board. Sealing alone doesn’t fix the root cause. We inspect first, document the moisture levels, and only seal once we’ve confirmed the system can drain properly and dry out. Rushing this step means you’ll be calling us again in three months with the same leak.
Duct Sealing Services in Plantation
Duct Sealing Services in Plantation from our crew cover the full system: supply and return trunks, branch runs, register boots, and the connections at the air handler and plenum. We use water-based mastic applied by brush, which outlasts foil tape in South Florida’s humidity and salt air. Foil tape might work in a dry climate, but in Plantation it peels within a season. We also replace sagging flex duct sections with new, properly supported runs so water can’t pool in the first place. For homes near Plantation Acres, where larger lots mean longer duct runs, we pay particular attention to joints and elbows, which are the first places to separate.
Documentation That Insurers Accept
If a storm caused the damage, we photograph everything before, during, and after the work. We record moisture readings, show the corroded components, and document the repair. That’s the difference between an insurer approving a claim and denying it for lack of evidence. Roy Castellanos oversees our Plantation jobs and reviews the documentation before we close out any water-damage sealing project.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We work with duct systems built around Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire dehumidification, and Guardsman air quality products. When we seal a Plantation home’s ducts, we make sure the sealing work integrates with the equipment you already have rather than working against it. That means checking filter housings, confirming the return side is balanced, and sealing around the connections where your Aprilaire dehumidifier or Honeywell filter assembly meets the ductwork. We don’t sell you a new system when the one you have just needs its ducts sealed correctly.

AfterCommon Duct Sealing Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Post-storm moisture in slab-on-grade flex ducts. Homes east of University Drive sit on concrete slabs, and the low-lying flex ducts that run through the attic collect condensation and stormwater. Duct board swells, mastic fails, and the leak recurs unless the drainage issue is corrected first.
- Sealing the trunk line but missing the register boots. We see this constantly from previous “sealing” jobs. Dirty attic air bypasses the seal at the boot and blows directly into the living room. We seal boots on every job, not just the main lines.
- Foil tape peeling off salt-exposed metal ducts. Plantation’s salt air and humidity cause foil tape to curl and fail within months. Water-based mastic is the only sealant we trust for our climate.
- Original galvanized ductwork with failing insulation. Many 1960s and 70s Plantation ranches still have their original metal ducts. The insulation wrap degrades, condensation forms on the bare metal, and rust follows. Sealing without addressing the condensation source won’t last.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Plantation, FL
A typical whole-system duct sealing job in Plantation runs between $850 and $1,750 for an average single-family home, depending on square footage and the number of supply and return runs. Sealing just the supply side of a smaller ranch might start around $600, while replacing sagging flex duct sections adds roughly $18 to $30 per linear foot with materials included. Homes in Plantation Acres with longer runs and multiple zones fall on the higher end. The written price you get before we start is the price you pay.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Plantation
We make that call by running a camera through your ducts and measuring moisture inside the system. If the metal is intact, the duct board hasn’t swelled, and the mastic joints are intact, sealing is usually the right fix. If we find rusted-through metal, waterlogged duct board, or sagging flex sections holding standing water, replacement is cheaper long-term than sealing a failing system. We document every finding with photos and moisture readings so you have the evidence to show your insurer.
Technically yes, but we rarely recommend it in Plantation. Your return ducts pull air from the house back into the AC. If they’re leaking, they’re pulling hot, humid attic air into the system, which increases your indoor humidity and makes the AC work harder. Sealing supply ducts only is like patching one side of a leaky boat. We’ll give you a price for both sides and let you decide. Call (754) 354-3644 and we’ll walk you through the numbers.
Sealing ducts directly improves dehumidification. When your return ducts leak, the AC pulls in humid outside air, which means the coil has to remove moisture from air you didn’t pay to cool. When your supply ducts leak, the cool, dehumidified air escapes into the attic instead of your living room. Sealing both sides means your AC removes more moisture and runs shorter cycles. That’s a big deal in Plantation, where relative humidity stays above 70% for much of the wet season.
We use water-based mastic applied by brush to every joint and seam. Mastic is a thick paste that cures into a flexible, airtight seal that doesn’t peel like foil tape and doesn’t degrade in high humidity. For homes near Plantation Acres or anywhere within five miles of the Atlantic, we avoid tape entirely. Salt air corrodes the adhesive and the tape fails within months. Mastic, properly applied, lasts as long as the duct itself.
Yes. We photograph the damaged areas, record moisture readings, and document the sealing or replacement work step by step. That includes pictures of standing water, corroded collars, swollen duct board, and the finished repair. Insurers want proof that the damage existed, that it was caused by a covered event, and that the repair was done properly. Our documentation gives them all three. If you’re filing a claim in Plantation, ask us about this before we start work so we can document everything the adjuster needs.
If your ducts are leaking, wet, or just not moving air like they used to, call us at (754) 354-3644. We’ll inspect your system, show you exactly what we find, and give you a written price before we touch anything. Estimates are free, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work in writing.
