What is Ductwork?
Ductwork is similar to straws; it carries air from one location to another (for instance, from the AC blower to the inside of your house). Ductwork is typically constructed of pre-insulated fiberglass duct board or malleable plastic however it can also be constructed out of ductwork sheet made of metal (a pipe made from sheet metal) that is then insulated after it is installed.

Common ductwork problems
- A deteriorating ductwork could start to break down. Depending on the kind of ductwork you have in your home, after typically 10 or more years the outer liner begins to fall apart and the insulation is removed. If this happens in an attic temperature of more than 100 degrees and the temperature in the attic could be 10 to 15 degrees higher when it is in the house which can lead to an increase in the cost for cooling your home by 40 to 60 percent. To address this issue, all damaged or damaged ductwork should be replaced.
- Leaks in the air ducts are a result of when duct sealants that are old begin to degrade or the contractor who installed it didn’t properly cover the entire ductwork.
- Rodents, including rodents and squirrels, could also damage the ductwork while searching for a cozy nest in the Texas hot weather. You may want to look at your attic if there were previously encountered rodent problems.
One of the primary reasons for duct issues
Ducted cooling and heating systems are constructed in that they’re hidden from our sight. Therefore, when they need to be repaired We don’t notice it when the air conditioning is very poor.
A large number of heating systems that are ducted and air conditioning have problems and cause issues over time. The majority of these issues are caused by rodents or possums and other creatures. They chew through the ductwork, hoping to find an uninhabitable and secure place to live, and leave the AC pipes damaged. You don’t see them but you will detect them or smell the odor.
The damage caused by possums is extensive and extensive. Typically all AC ducts need to be replaced. Richardson’s Best AC & Heating Repair by Abundant Air LLC team of duct repairers specialises in identifying the causes of these issues and offering solutions to solve the issue.
Other animals such as cats, dogs, wombats, too, rest on the ducts in order to warm themselves and warm, leaving the AC pipes damaged and limiting the flow of air.
Certain ductwork systems are damaged because of flooding. When water is able to get inside the AC ducts it remains for a prolonged period of time, which causes the ducts to shrink and become damaged. Sometimes, people get into the ductwork and crush and cause damage to the ducts. Sometimes it’s due to improper installation or that the air conditioning vents being far away from the heating system, the airflow is reduced in certain areas of the home
