When it comes to fixing leaking ducts, there are a few tools and techniques that can be used. An aluminum brake is a tool used to create sharp 90-degree curves, while putty or adhesive tape, along with a caulking gun or brush, can be used to repair minor leaks. However, more serious issues or those that are hard to access require professional attention. At One Hour Air, we strongly suggest that you hire a professional for air duct repair. This is because the process involves a number of technicalities that only trained experts have the knowledge and experience to handle.
Plus, it can be dangerous and mistakes can be costly. Repairing ducts may seem easy in theory, but it is difficult in practice.
