❓General Questions

DuctArmor is a patented, non-invasive duct restoration system that repairs, coats, and seals underground (in-slab) air ducts without the need to tear up your foundation. Our process restores airflow, eliminates contaminants, and seals leaks from the inside out.

Traditional duct repair often requires breaking through concrete slabs, excavation, and costly reconstruction. DuctArmor eliminates all of that. Our process works entirely from the inside of the duct system, meaning no jackhammers, no mess, and no structural damage to your property.

DuctArmor has a growing network of authorized dealers across the country. Visit our Find a Dealer page to locate a certified DuctArmor installer near you. If we do not yet have a dealer in your area, you can contact us and we will help connect you with the nearest available provider.

Common signs include uneven heating or cooling between rooms, musty or moldy odors from your vents, visible moisture or condensation around registers, increased energy bills, and excessive dust or allergens in your home. If your home was built on a slab foundation and is more than 15 years old, your ducts may benefit from an inspection.

Most residential jobs are completed in a single day, typically within 4 to 8 hours depending on the size of the system and the extent of the damage. You can remain in your home during the process.

πŸ”§Process and Technical

The DuctArmor process has four main steps: First, we perform a thorough video inspection of your duct system. Second, we clean the ducts to remove debris, mold, and buildup.
