Bay Area Duct Inspections
Since duct systems are mostly covered, blocked, or tucked away into areas of the home that you rarely frequent, it can be hard to tell when your ducts need servicing. For this reason, it is vital that you schedule regular duct inspections. Consistent inspections will help to reduce the risk of costly complications and can help you understand when the time has come for repair, duct sealing, or duct replacement.
Our duct service technicians recommend scheduling duct inspections at a minimum of once every three years. Annual inspections are ideal but may not always be necessary. If you’re unsure when you need service, call on AIS! We’re always happy to help you figure out the optimal schedule for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if ductwork is damaged?
Mold, animals, age, moisture, poor maintenance, and more can contribute to damaged ductwork. If your ducts are damaged, it can negatively impact:
- Indoor air quality
- Home comfort
- HVAC efficiency
Hire a professional to repair the damage and ensure that your ducts are properly sealed. We don’t recommend DIY repairs because you may not fully resolve the problem, or you could cause further damage.
Do you have to open walls to replace ductwork?
In most cases, removing walls or ceilings is unnecessary to install new ductwork. The exceptions include homes with flat roofs or other structures with complex duct systems.
Whenever possible, your ductwork installation team will use your existing infrastructure to install your new ducts to:
- Reduce the required installation time
- Minimize construction waste and debris
- Ensure your new ducts fit seamlessly into your home
How do you know if your air ducts are leaking?
Signs that you may have a hidden duct leak include:
- Unexplained increases in your utility bills
- Uneven heating and cooling
- Reduced airflow
- Excessive airborne dust
What's involved in a ductwork inspection?
If you suspect an air duct leak or damage, a professional should perform a visual and physical inspection of your ducts. During an inspection, we’ll look out for:
- Screws that are missing
- Sections that have come loose
- Rust
- Kinks
- Missing tape
- And more
We can also apply airflow meters, sensors, cameras, and other tools to determine the extent and location of any leaks.
