Pressure testing before sealing quantifies total leakage. Every leak point located and sealed with correct materials. Post-sealing pressure test documents the improvement. Every service guaranteed.
Your energy bills are higher than they should be for the amount of heating and cooling your home requires in Mustang. Certain rooms will not reach the right temperature regardless of how long the HVAC runs in Mustang, OK. You have had the equipment checked and it is working correctly in Mustang. 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 Mustang, OK. 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 Mustang.
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 Mustang, OK. The Department of Energy estimates that typical residential duct systems lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through leakage in Mustang. 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 Mustang, OK.

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