Trusted Air Duct Repair for Corpus Christi Homeowners
Loose joints, torn flex runs, crushed sections behind cabinetry: in Corpus Christi homes, duct damage usually shows up as uneven airflow and a power bill that creeps up before anyone sees the tear. Air duct repair rebuilds the pathway so the system moves the air it was designed to move. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience, we work with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and we can often get a repair scheduled the same day. Call (833) 435-2252 and we’ll book a free estimate. Whether the problem is a single crushed run or years of neglected ductwork, we diagnose it before we quote it, and the flat price you get in writing is the price you pay when the work is done.
HVAC Duct Installation
HVAC Duct Installation is the full build-out of a duct system, from the plenum at the air handler through every supply and return branch to the registers. You need it when a system is being extended into a converted garage, a room addition, or a home where the original layout was never designed for the equipment now serving it. Ironside Duct Cleaning handles installation as part of our air-pathway work. We size the runs, seal the joints, and make sure the whole system is balanced before we call it finished. A typical installation in Corpus Christi runs $1,800-$6,500 depending on the number of runs, whether you need new plenum work, and access above the ceiling. Every job is one flat price per system, agreed before work starts.
Planning the Layout
We start by counting the rooms and matching each one to a properly sized branch. A run that’s too small starves the room it serves; one that’s too big throws the whole system out of balance. Layout is decided on paper before any cutting happens.
Sealing and Testing
Every joint we install gets sealed, because an unsealed install leaks as much as an old system. We check the finished system for airflow and balance room to room. You see before-and-after photos of the work when we’re done.

Air Duct Replacement
Air Duct Replacement is removing damaged sections or whole runs and putting new ductwork in their place. It’s the right answer when the existing duct is beyond repair: collapsed flex, water-damaged board, pest intrusion, or a run that was the wrong size from day one. Ironside Duct Cleaning carries Abatement Technologies filtration equipment into these jobs because replacement often stirs up contamination that’s been sitting in the duct for years, and we won’t put new ductwork in without controlling that dust. A typical replacement in Corpus Christi runs $600-$3,200 depending on how many runs are involved and how hard they are to reach. Estimates are free and the written price is final.
Partial and Full Replacement
Most jobs are partial: one or two runs that failed and the rest in good shape. We replace what’s damaged and leave the rest alone. Full replacement makes sense when the whole system is undersized or the duct material is breaking down throughout.
Matching New Duct to Old
New duct has to connect cleanly to what’s already there, or you’ve just moved the leak. We measure the existing system and match the new sections to its size and layout. The result is one continuous pathway, not a patchwork.
Ductwork Repair
Ductwork Repair fixes the duct system you already have, sealing leaks, reconnecting disconnected runs, and repairing crushed or torn sections. It’s what you need when the system works but air isn’t reaching the rooms it should, or when you can hear the system leaking in the attic. Ironside Duct Cleaning finds the defects with a diagnostic inspection first, then repairs them with professional materials. A typical repair in Corpus Christi runs $250-$1,400 depending on how many defects there are and how accessible the duct is. One flat price per system, agreed before we start, so there are no surprises when the work is done.
Finding the Leaks
Not every leak is visible. We inspect accessible duct, check connections at the plenum and registers, and look for the tell-tale signs of a disconnected run inside a wall. The inspection is part of the free estimate.
Repair Materials That Hold
Foil tape and mastic, applied properly, seal a joint for the life of the duct. We don’t use duct tape on ductwork; it dries out and fails within a few years. The repair should outlast the system around it.
Duct Replacement
Duct Replacement is the decision to remove a failing duct system and install a new one, rather than chase repairs on duct that’s reached the end of its useful life. You need it when the duct is disintegrating, has been soaked repeatedly, or when repeated repairs cost more than starting fresh. Ironside Duct Cleaning treats it as a pathway decision: new duct, correctly sized, correctly sealed, tied into the equipment you already have. A typical replacement in Corpus Christi runs $1,200-$5,500 depending on the size of the system and access. The written estimate sets the final price.
When Repair Stops Making Sense
If the duct is falling apart in several places, patching one section just moves the failure down the line. We’ll tell you honestly when replacement is the better value. You’ll see the inspection findings behind that recommendation.
Removal and Clean Installation
Old duct comes out completely, and we clean the space behind it before installing new. New duct is sealed at every joint. We finish with before-and-after photos so you can see what changed in the attic or crawlspace.
Ductwork Installation
Ductwork Installation is putting new duct runs in place to serve rooms or equipment that aren’t currently served, and it’s usually needed when you’re adding a room, converting a space, or correcting a system that never reached part of the house. Ironside Duct Cleaning installs ductwork as part of the full indoor air pathway, and we work with the filtration equipment in the system, including Honeywell and Aprilaire components, so new runs integrate properly. A typical installation in Corpus Christi runs $500-$2,800 depending on the number of runs and access above the ceiling. Free estimate, one flat price per system.
Adding Runs to an Existing System
New runs have to be sized against the existing blower capacity. If the system is already at its limit, adding duct without addressing that just spreads the airflow thinner. We check before we install.
Access and Cleanup
Attic and crawlspace work means dust, and we contain it with negative-air equipment while we work. When we leave, the space is cleaner than we found it. That’s part of how a professional install should go.
Brands We Service
We work with Rotobrush and Nikro contact-vacuum and negative-air systems on a daily basis, and we know where each one performs and where it needs a second pass. That experience matters on repair jobs where the duct is contaminated and the repair can’t happen until the dust is under control. We also carry Abatement Technologies filtration equipment for jobs that need more than a standard cleaning.
On the air-treatment side, we service Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration and IAQ equipment, and we know Guardsman components well enough to work around them without damage. We don’t claim to be a dealer or to stock OEM parts. We’re a duct specialist who understands the whole air-treatment chain, not just the ductwork in isolation. Whether you have Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies equipment or any other make, we can help.

- Uneven airflow room to room. One room is cold while another is comfortable, and the thermostat says the system is running. That’s usually a disconnected or crushed run, and it gets worse the longer it runs.
- Visible dust streaks at the registers. Dust blowing out of supply registers means the duct itself is dirty or leaking. Cleaning around a leak won’t fix it; the leak has to be sealed first.
- Musty or stale odor when the system starts. A smell that appears every time the blower kicks on usually points to moisture or contamination inside the duct. It needs an inspection, not an air freshener.
- Rising energy bills with no other explanation. Leaking duct sends conditioned air into the attic instead of the rooms. You pay for it every month until the leak is repaired.
- A dryer that takes two cycles to dry a load. A clogged or damaged dryer vent is a leading cause of residential house fires. If the vent hasn’t been serviced in years, get it looked at before anything else.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Free estimate and inspection. We walk the system with you, look at accessible duct, check connections at the plenum and registers, and note every defect we find. You get photos of what we see, not just a verbal description.
- 2
Written diagnosis and flat price. You receive a written scope of the repair and one flat price per system. No per-vent pricing, no surprise line items added on the day. The written estimate sets the final price.
- 3
Containment and cleaning. Before we cut or repair, we set up negative-air equipment so dust from the duct doesn’t end up in your living space. Abatement Technologies filtration equipment comes out for jobs that need it.
- 4
Repair or installation. We repair the defects or install new duct, sealing every joint properly. If the system has filtration equipment like Honeywell or Aprilaire components, we work around it carefully and put it back correctly.
- 5
Verification and before-and-after photos. We check airflow room to room when we’re done, and we show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. You see exactly what was repaired.
How Much Does Air Duct Repair Cost in Corpus Christi?
Air duct repair in Corpus Christi typically runs $250-$1,400, depending on how many defects there are and how accessible the duct is. A single reconnected run is at the low end. Multiple leaks, crushed sections, or duct that has to be reached through a tight attic push toward the top.
A typical ductwork repair in Corpus Christi runs $250-$1,400 depending on the number of defects and access. A typical air duct replacement runs $600-$3,200 depending on how many runs are involved. A typical full HVAC duct installation runs $1,800-$6,500 depending on system size and layout.
What affects the price: the number of separate defects, whether duct runs through an attic, crawlspace, or wall cavity, whether contamination requires negative-air containment during the work, and whether filtration equipment (Honeywell, Aprilaire, Guardsman) is in the system and needs to be worked around. Access is usually the biggest driver.
How to avoid overpaying: get a written scope, not a verbal price. Ask what’s included and whether the price is flat per system or per vent. Compare the scope, not just the number. A price that looks cheap on the phone often grows once the technician is on site.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Duct Repair in Corpus Christi
Air Duct Repair is the work of fixing the physical duct system so air reaches every room as designed. It covers sealing leaks at joints and connections, reconnecting disconnected runs, patching tears in flex duct, and repairing crushed sections. It’s different from air duct cleaning, which removes dust and debris but doesn’t fix structural problems. A system can be spotless and still lose half its air through a disconnected run in the attic.
Most single-defect repairs in Corpus Christi take about two to four hours on site. Multiple repairs or a partial replacement usually run a full day. Complex jobs that involve the whole system may take two days. We give you a time estimate in writing before we start, and we tell you if we find something unexpected while we’re in the attic. Call (833) 435-2252 for a scope based on your system.
