Why attic ductwork fails in Hampton Roads
Attics here regularly hit 120°F or more in summer. Flexible duct gets crushed by storage or people moving through the attic, tape fails, and connections pull apart. Uninsulated or poorly sealed ducts also sweat in humid weather, soaking insulation and drywall. A duct inspection shows you exactly where cooled air is being lost.
Humidity control
Hampton Roads summers are humid. A system that's oversized, or with the fan set to ON, can leave the house cold and clammy. Sometimes the fix is a setting. Sometimes a whole-home dehumidifier is worth it, especially in homes near the water or with crawlspaces.
Common questions
How do I know if my ducts are leaking?
Hot or cold rooms, high bills, dust and a dirty attic around the duct joints are common signs. We inspect the attic runs and show you what we find.
Can you fix a house that feels clammy?
Often, yes. An oversized system, fan settings or duct leaks can all leave humidity behind. A whole-home dehumidifier helps in some houses.
