Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy Is Pecan Grove’s Preferred Duct Repair & Sealing Company
We’ve served over 52,000 homes since 2013, and Pecan Grove represents a significant share of our Fort Bend County work.

Our Duct Repair & Sealing team documents every finding with before-and-after photos of each duct run, delivered as part of the standard job record.
Pecan Grove homeowners tend to research before calling. They ask about our license, our equipment, and whether we’ll put a price in writing. We answer all three on the first call. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we publish our license number on every page - not buried in a footer. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Pecan Grove job in writing, not as a verbal afterthought.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Houston office, but crews serve Pecan Grove locally and carry common flex duct sizes, mastic sealant, and collar fittings for the 6-inch and 8-inch runs standard in this community’s homes. That local inventory means most repairs finish in one visit.
Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Pecan Grove

Duct Sealing
Sealing is where most Pecan Grove homes actually need work. Original mastic sealant from the 1980s and 1990s has hardened and cracked under years of 130°F attic heat, opening leak paths at the air handler plenum, register boots, and collar joints. We remove the failed material, prep the metal or flex surface, and apply fresh mastic sealant rated for the temperature swings these attics see. A typical sealing job in Pecan Grove runs $280-$450 for a single-system home, with the written price delivered before work starts under Haven Standard Clause 1.

Flex Duct Repair
Pecan Grove’s flex-duct systems are now 25-40 years old. The outer vapor barrier degrades. The inner liner tears where support straps have constricted it. Sagging sections dip below the dew point and collect condensation that rots the jacket from the outside in. We replace compromised runs with new insulated flex duct, support it properly to maintain slope, and seal all connections with mastic - not just foil tape that will fail again in two summers. Flex duct replacement in Pecan Grove typically ranges from $180 per run for accessible attic sections to $340 per run where decking or insulation must be moved.

Metal Duct Repair
Some Pecan Grove homes, particularly the earlier builds from the late 1970s, have galvanized metal trunk lines with later flex-duct branches. These metal sections rust at seams and joints where condensation has pooled for decades. We cut out corroded sections, fabricate replacements, and seal with mastic and mechanical fasteners. Metal repair runs higher - $340-$620 depending on accessibility and extent - but it’s often the only way to stop a leak path that’s been pulling 130°F attic air into the system for years.

Duct Insulation
When the fiberglass insulation surrounding a flex duct has absorbed moisture and compacted, the duct loses thermal efficiency and begins sweating on its exterior surface. In Pecan Grove’s humid attics, this creates a cycle of condensation and mold growth. We strip compromised insulation, replace it with new fiberglass wrap or pre-insulated flex, and seal the vapor barrier. Insulation replacement typically adds $120-$220 per run to the repair cost.

Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Pecan Grove Homes

- Soggy flex duct insulation from river-bottomland humidity. Pecan Grove’s Brazos River bottomland setting floods attics with dew points that stay high even in cool months, so 1980s-1990s flex duct sweats from the outside in - meaning duct repair calls here often uncover soggy, moldy insulation around otherwise-intact runs, not just disconnected joints. The fix is insulation replacement and improved support to maintain proper slope.
- Collapsed runs from roof deck settlement. On a 1988 home off Plantation Drive in Pecan Grove, our techs were called for weak airflow and a musty smell in a back bedroom. Camera inspection found the flex run to the master bath crushed where a roof deck had settled, and the liner was sweating so badly that mastic sealant had peeled away from the collar - we replaced the run, re-sealed with fresh mastic, and the supply register went from barely-there to full volume in one visit.
- Post-Harvey mold contamination in ground-level equipment. Hurricane Harvey’s record Brazos River crest in 2017 flooded portions of Pecan Grove and caused water intrusion into ground-level air handlers and return plenums across the community. Many of those systems were dried out and restarted without professional mold remediation of the ductwork, leaving a significant share of homes with contaminated duct systems that have been quietly recirculating mold spores ever since. We find this during camera inspection and recommend appropriate remediation before sealing work proceeds.
- Failed mastic at air handler collars. Mastic sealant and foil tape on original 1980s collars fail under 130°F attic heat, opening air leak paths at the air handler and register boots that pull attic humidity straight into living spaces. The gap is often invisible from the register side; we find it with blower-door testing or smoke pencil inspection.
Pricing for Duct Repair & Sealing in Pecan Grove, TX
Most Pecan Grove homeowners pay between $280 and $780 for duct repair and sealing, depending on how many runs are involved and whether replacement or sealing alone will solve the problem. Here’s how typical jobs break down:

FAQs - Duct Repair & Sealing in Pecan Grove

The musty smell usually means moisture has penetrated the flex duct insulation or inner liner, creating mold growth that standard cleaning can’t reach. In Pecan Grove, the river-bottomland humidity keeps attic dew points elevated year-round, so 1980s-1990s flex duct sweats from the outside in and wicks moisture into the insulation layer. We find this with camera inspection and fix it by replacing the compromised run and re-sealing with fresh mastic. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Most weren’t. After Harvey’s 2017 Brazos River crest, many Pecan Grove air handlers and return plenums were dried and restarted without professional duct remediation, leaving mold spores in supply and return ducts that recirculate every time the blower runs. The only way to verify is camera inspection of every run, which we include as standard before quoting any sealing work. If we find post-Harvey contamination, we document it with photos and recommend remediation before sealing. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Crushed runs result from a combination of original support strap failure and roof deck settlement over 25-40 years. In Pecan Grove’s unconditioned attics, the 130°F summer heat degrades the plastic support straps, allowing flex duct to sag onto insulation or decking. Where roof decks have settled - common in the 1980s sections near Plantation Drive - the duct gets pinched between framing members. Camera inspection finds the exact location, and replacement with proper support spacing prevents recurrence. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes, but only when the sealing addresses the actual leak paths. In Pecan Grove, failed mastic at air handler collars and register boots creates negative pressure that pulls 130°F, humid attic air directly into the duct system. Proper sealing with fresh mastic stops that infiltration, reducing the moisture load your air conditioner must remove. We verify the seal with smoke pencil or blower-door testing before declaring the job complete. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Given the river-bottomland humidity and 25-40 year age of most flex-duct systems here, we recommend inspection every three to five years, or immediately if you notice uneven airflow, musty odors, or energy bills rising without explanation. The 1980s-1990s construction standard in Pecan Grove means many homes are now at the age where original mastic has failed and insulation has absorbed moisture. Early inspection catches problems before multiple runs require replacement. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
