Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in Louisiana. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in Louisiana, MO. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in Louisiana. If the equipment is fine but the home is not comfortable and the bills are high, the problem is almost certainly in the distribution system in Louisiana, MO. Specifically, in duct leaks that are allowing conditioned air to escape into unconditioned attic or crawl space before it reaches the rooms you are paying to heat and cool in Louisiana.
Duct leakage happens at every unsealed joint between duct sections, at every branch takeoff from the trunk line, at every register boot connection in the walls and ceilings, and at the connections where the duct system meets the air handler in Louisiana, MO. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in Louisiana. For a home spending $200 per month on heating and cooling, that is $40 to $60 per month escaping through duct leaks to the attic or crawl space in Louisiana, MO.

Systematic identification of every specific leak point through the accessible system in Louisiana. Correct sealant materials applied to every leak point in Louisiana, MO. Post-sealing pressure testing to document the improvement with measured numbers in Louisiana. And a guarantee on every sealing service in Louisiana, MO. Call now for same-day scheduling in Louisiana.
Standard duct tape uses a rubber-based adhesive that performs at room temperature but dries and loses adhesion when repeatedly exposed to the temperature extremes that duct systems experience during HVAC operation in Louisiana. A supply duct carrying cold conditioned air through a 130-degree summer attic cycles through extreme temperatures with every cooling cycle in Louisiana, MO. Standard duct tape adhesive is not formulated for this cycling and fails within a few seasons in Louisiana. Mastic sealant remains flexible after curing and maintains its seal through years of thermal cycling in Louisiana, MO. UL 181-rated foil tape maintains adhesion for 20 years or more in normal duct system conditions in Louisiana.
Every connection between duct sections is a potential leak point in Louisiana, MO. In most residential installations, these joints were mechanically fastened without sealant during installation in Louisiana. Over years of thermal cycling that expands and contracts the ductwork with every HVAC cycle, even joints that were initially sealed with standard duct tape have failed as the tape dried and lost adhesion in Louisiana, MO.
Branch takeoffs split conditioned air from the main trunk line into the individual branch runs serving each room in Louisiana. They have multiple edges and angles that create significant potential leak area if not correctly sealed in Louisiana, MO. Branch takeoff leaks are among the largest individual leak points in typical residential duct systems in Louisiana.
The register boot connects the branch duct run to the wall, ceiling, or floor opening where the supply register mounts in Louisiana, MO. The connection between the flexible duct and the boot collar and the connection between the boot and the surrounding framing are both common significant leak points in Louisiana. Conditioned air escaping at the boot level leaks into the wall or ceiling cavity rather than through the register into the room in Louisiana, MO.
Systems sealed with standard duct tape develop leakage as the tape dries, cracks, and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Louisiana. Standard duct tape on duct joints typically fails within three to five seasons of thermal cycling in Louisiana, MO. Joints that were sealed with standard tape appear sealed when first applied and are open to leakage again within a few years in Louisiana.
Supply duct leakage between the trunk line and the registers means rooms furthest from the air handler receive less conditioned air than they were designed to receive in Louisiana. The conditioned air that leaks out before reaching the register does not reach the room in Louisiana, MO. Rooms at the end of long duct runs with multiple leak points along the way receive the cumulative effect of all those leaks in Louisiana. The room that is always too hot in summer and too cold in winter is often at the end of a duct run with multiple unsealed joints in Louisiana, MO.
Return duct leaks draw air from the surrounding unconditioned space into the return airstream in Louisiana. A return duct leak in an attic draws hot, dusty attic air into the air handler in summer in Louisiana, MO. A return duct leak in a crawl space draws crawl space air including moisture, mold spores, and soil particulate into the system in Louisiana. This unconditioned air bypasses the filter and is distributed throughout the home in Louisiana, MO.
MBM Air Duct Cleaning performs a duct pressure test before any sealing begins in Louisiana, MO. A calibrated fan is connected to the duct system and pressurized to a standard test pressure in Louisiana. The measured airflow represents the total leakage rate and provides the baseline for comparing with the post-sealing result in Louisiana, MO.
With the system pressurized, MBM technicians work through the accessible duct system to locate every specific leak point in Louisiana. Every branch takeoff. Every duct joint. Every register boot connection. Every plenum seam and air handler connection in Louisiana, MO. Every identified leak point is marked for sealing in Louisiana.
Mastic sealant for most duct joint and connection applications in Louisiana, MO. UL 181-rated foil tape for specific sheet metal seam applications in Louisiana. The correct material for the specific application in Louisiana, MO.
MBM systematically seals every identified leak point in the accessible duct system in Louisiana. Mastic applied at the correct thickness to cover the full joint gap and bond to the duct surfaces on both sides in Louisiana, MO. Every identified leak point addressed before the post-sealing pressure test in Louisiana.
After all identified leak points are sealed, MBM repeats the pressure test to measure the post-sealing leakage rate in Louisiana, MO. The before and after measurements quantify the leakage reduction achieved by the sealing in Louisiana. Documented evidence of the result provided to the homeowner in Louisiana, MO.
Mastic is a water-based sealant specifically formulated for duct system applications in Louisiana, MO. It remains flexible after curing, maintaining its seal through the thermal cycling that duct systems experience in Louisiana. It does not dry out, crack, or lose adhesion from temperature cycling the way standard duct tape does in Louisiana, MO.
UL 181-rated foil tape is tested and rated specifically for HVAC duct applications in Louisiana. Unlike standard duct tape, it maintains its adhesion through the temperature cycling of duct system operation in Louisiana, MO. Appropriate for specific sheet metal seam applications in Louisiana.
Standard silver duct tape is not rated for duct system applications in Louisiana, MO. Its rubber-based adhesive dries and loses adhesion from temperature cycling in Louisiana. MBM Air Duct Cleaning never uses standard duct tape for duct sealing work in Louisiana, MO.
MBM performs pressure testing before and after every duct sealing service in Louisiana, MO. The before and after measurements document the leakage reduction achieved in Louisiana. Documented improvement, not assumed improvement in Louisiana, MO.
MBM seals every identified leak point in the accessible duct system in Louisiana. Not a representative sample. Not the most obvious points only in Louisiana, MO. Every identified leak point in Louisiana.
Mastic sealant and UL 181-rated foil tape that maintain their effectiveness through the thermal cycling of long-term HVAC operation in Louisiana, MO. Never standard duct tape in Louisiana.
Every MBM Air Duct Cleaning duct sealing service is guaranteed in Louisiana. If the sealing does not produce the expected improvement within the guarantee period, we return and address it at no additional charge in Louisiana, MO.
All pricing confirmed upfront before work begins in Louisiana. No surprises in Louisiana, MO.
A sealing service that reduces leakage by 15 to 20 percentage points returns that proportional energy cost reduction on every subsequent energy bill in Louisiana, MO. For a home spending $200 per month on heating and cooling, a 15 percent leakage reduction saves approximately $30 per month in Louisiana. A sealing service costing $500 to $1,000 pays for itself in energy savings within 18 to 36 months in most cases in Louisiana, MO. Every month after payback is net return on the investment in Louisiana.
