Master's Plumbing repairs, seals, insulates and modifies ductwork across North Jersey, whether it is part of a new equipment installation or a standalone fix.
Signs of a ductwork problem
- One room or one floor is always warmer than the rest of the house
- Weak airflow from some registers and strong airflow from others
- Dust builds up fast, or the filter loads up in a couple of weeks
- The attic or basement is cool while the rooms above are not
- Whistling or rumbling from the ducts when the blower starts
- Visible gaps, tape peeling off joints, or a duct that has come apart
- New equipment that is loud and short-cycles, which can point to high static pressure
Ductwork services we provide
Duct leak repair and sealing
Joints, seams and takeoffs sealed with mastic and proper foil tape, not cloth duct tape. Disconnected runs reattached and supported.
Duct insulation
Ducts in attics, garages and crawlspaces wrapped so cooled air arrives cold and the ducts do not sweat in humid weather.
Static pressure testing
High static pressure means the ducts are choking the equipment, which shortens its life and cuts its capacity. We measure it rather than guess.
Duct modification for new equipment
Enlarging returns, adding supply runs, replacing undersized trunks and rebuilding the plenum so new equipment can deliver its rated airflow.
Balancing and dampers
Adjusting or adding dampers so the far bedroom gets its share of air instead of the room nearest the furnace getting all of it.
Return air improvements
Many older systems are starved for return air. Adding or enlarging returns is often the single biggest comfort fix in the house.
How a ductwork job works

Inspection
We trace the ducts, check the connections, measure static pressure and airflow at the registers, and find where the air is actually going.
- 2
Written scope and price
A clear list of what we found and a firm by-the-job price for the fix.

Repair
Sealing, insulating, rerouting or replacing sections as needed, supported and protected so it stays fixed.
