Why Hollis Air Duct Sandy Springs Is Sandy Springs’s Preferred Duct Sealing Company
We’ve been sealing ducts in Sandy Springs long enough to know exactly what we’ll find before we open a single access panel. The housing stock here tells a story: brick and frame homes from the 1970s through the 1990s, many with original flex duct that’s now sagging, separated, or pulling damp crawlspace air into the system. Newer custom builds near the river have their own issues, usually condensation inside plenums where humid air meets cold metal.
Roy Castellanos runs our Sandy Springs operation, and he holds every technician to The Garrison Code: arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before any work starts, do it by the book, and leave the site cleaner than we found it. No exceptions. If you call our number, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop. Not a callback queue at 9am Monday. That matters when you’re standing in a humid house wondering why the air smells like a crawlspace.
Every duct sealing job we do in Sandy Springs is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a sealed joint fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s written on every invoice, not implied in a handshake.
Styles & brands we work with




Air Duct Sealing in Sandy Springs
Air Duct Sealing in Sandy Springs means closing every leak in your duct system so conditioned air goes where it’s supposed to go, not into your attic, crawlspace, or wall cavities. We use mastic sealant applied with a brush – not tape, which dries out and peels in the heat and humidity this city throws at it. The job usually takes four to eight hours depending on home size and access.
Sandy Springs homeowners call us when they notice rooms that never reach the thermostat setting, dust appearing on furniture days after cleaning, or a smell that comes and goes with the AC cycle. The fix is often less expensive than people expect because the real problem is rarely the whole system. It’s usually specific failure points: a separated return plenum, a crushed flex run, a boot that was never seated correctly.
Whole-Home Leak Sealing
We seal supply and return runs from the air handler to every register boot. That includes joints, seams, and any place metal meets flex duct. In Sandy Springs homes with crawlspace-mounted air handlers, this almost always means sealing the entire return path, because that’s where moisture enters the system.
Return Path Repair
When the return side leaks, your system pulls air from wherever it can get it. In a Sandy Springs crawlspace, that’s humid red-clay air full of mold spores. Sealing the return path stops that at the source and costs $350 to $800 on its own for most homes.
Duct Sealing Services in Sandy Springs
Duct Sealing Services in Sandy Springs include camera inspection to find the leaks, negative pressure testing to confirm them, then mastic sealing and insulation wrap where needed. We don’t guess. We show you the before-and-after photos of your own ducts so you know the work happened. If we’re already in your system for a cleaning, we’ll flag sealing issues as part of the service, not as an upsell.
What drives cost here: how many linear feet of duct need sealing, whether we’re working in a tight crawlspace or a walkable attic, and how bad the existing duct material is. Homes near the Chattahoochee River corridor tend to need more return-side work because humidity finds every gap.
Sealing After Duct Cleaning
If you’re having your ducts cleaned, that’s the ideal time to seal them. The system is open, we can see every joint, and the mastic goes on clean metal or flex rather than trying to stick through dust. Most Sandy Springs customers combine the two jobs and save on the second trip charge.

Air Handler and Plenum Sealing
The air handler cabinet and the plenums above and below it are the most common leak points we find in Sandy Springs. Metal cabinets with loose seams, flex duct attached to sheet metal with nothing but a zip tie, return boxes that were never sealed at all. We seal these with mastic and reinforce with mechanical fasteners where the original install was sloppy.

AfterCommon Duct Sealing Problems We See in Sandy Springs Homes
- Original flex duct from the 1980s that’s sagged and separated. Homes built east of Roswell Road in the 1980s almost always have original flex runs by now. We routinely find runs that have pulled loose from boots or separated at the trunk line, dumping conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces.
- Crawlspace-mounted air handlers pulling damp air through unsealed returns. The red-clay soil under Sandy Springs crawlspaces stays damp most of the year. An unsealed return plenum acts like a vacuum, pulling that moisture straight into your system and through your house.
- Condensation inside plenums near the river. Homes in Riverside and Heards Ferry sit close enough to the Chattahoochee that humidity stays elevated even in winter. Cold supply air moving through a warm, humid attic creates condensation inside unsealed plenums, which leads to mold growth that cleaning alone won’t stop.
- Red-clay dust and pine pollen infiltrating through gaps. Sandy Springs has a dense tree canopy, and that means heavy pollen seasons. Leaky ducts actively pull that fine particulate into your system, where it coats the blower motor and clogs registers faster than in drier parts of metro Atlanta.
Pricing for Duct Sealing in Sandy Springs, GA
Whole-home duct sealing in Sandy Springs runs $850 to $2,400. Smaller jobs, like sealing a single return plenum or reconnecting two separated flex runs, start around $350. A full return path sealing on a crawlspace-mounted system in an 1980s home typically lands between $700 and $1,100. Attic systems on newer builds run toward the lower end because access is easier. The written price is the price, agreed before we touch anything. Call (229) 489-7780 for a free estimate. You’ll get an exact number, not a range that moves once the technician steps inside.

FAQs About Duct Sealing in Sandy Springs
Because Sandy Springs sits in the Chattahoochee River corridor with a dense tree canopy, which keeps humidity elevated year-round. That humidity finds every gap in your duct system, condenses inside plenums, and feeds mold growth. Sealing in Sandy Springs isn’t just about saving energy, it’s about keeping damp crawlspace air and mold spores out of the air you breathe. Call (229) 489-7780 if your house smells musty only when the AC runs.
Expect us to start in the crawlspace. We’ll camera the return runs first, because that’s where 1980s homes in Sandy Springs fail most often. Then we negative-pressure test with the blower running to confirm the leak points. The sealing itself involves brushing mastic onto every joint from the air handler to the register boots, then wrapping the trunk line where condensation is a problem. A job like this usually takes five to seven hours. The written price covers the whole job, including the crawlspace work.
Yes, when the smell is coming from your duct system, sealing is often the actual fix. What we find in Riverside homes is humid air entering unsealed returns in the crawlspace, carrying mold spores and that damp-earth smell into the house every time the blower runs. Sealing those leaks stops the air from entering. If mold has already grown inside the ducts, we’ll recommend cleaning before sealing so you’re not sealing spores in. Call (229) 489-7780 and we’ll talk through what you’re smelling.
We use a camera inspection system to look inside the duct runs, following the path from the air handler to each register. Then we run a negative pressure test with the blower motor on, which pulls air through every gap and shows us exactly where the leaks are. We can do all of this through existing access points. No drywall comes out. After sealing, we re-test to confirm the leaks are closed and photograph the work.
Yes, and it’s the smartest time to do it. A new HVAC system connected to leaky ductwork is still a leaky system. You’re paying to heat and cool air that escapes into your attic or crawlspace before it reaches a single room. Sealing before or during an HVAC replacement in Sandy Springs means the new equipment runs at its rated efficiency from day one, and we can do the work while the system is down and access is easiest. The cost doesn’t change whether the equipment is new or old. Call (229) 489-7780 and we’ll give you a written price so you can budget it alongside the new system.
