Duct Cleaning & Sealing Services in Mobile & Baldwin County, AL
Dirty or leaky ducts waste conditioned air and circulate contaminants throughout your Mobile or Baldwin County home or office. Over time, dust, mold spores, pet dander, and debris accumulate inside ductwork, forcing your AC system to work 15-30% harder to maintain comfortable temperatures. Unsealed ducts lose 20-30% of conditioned air before it reaches living spaces, driving up energy bills significantly. Gulf Coast Air Pros LLC combines professional duct cleaning with precision sealing using EPA-approved mastic or metal-backed tape to restore system efficiency and indoor air quality for properties throughout Baldwin County.
Our duct cleaning and sealing process begins with a thorough video inspection of your entire system using fiber-optic cameras to identify problem areas, blockages, and leaks. We then use negative pressure equipment and HEPA-filtered vacuum systems to dislodge and remove accumulated debris, followed by manual brush cleaning of accessible ducts. After cleaning, our technicians seal all visible leaks, joints, and seams with industry-standard mastic sealant or metal tape, then test airflow using digital pressure gauges to confirm proper system balance. The entire project typically takes 1-3 days depending on system size and complexity, with detailed before-and-after documentation provided to every Fairhope-area customer.

Our Duct Cleaning & Sealing Process
Initial Video Inspection
Our technician arrives with fiber-optic camera equipment to inspect your entire duct system, identifying dust buildup, leaks, disconnections, and blockages. This inspection takes 45-60 minutes and includes written report with photos.
System Cleaning with HEPA Equipment
Using negative pressure equipment and industrial HEPA-filtered vacuums, we dislodge and remove dust, debris, and contaminants from ducts. Rotary brushes and compressed air are used to agitate stubborn buildup. This phase typically requires 4-8 hours depending on system size.
Duct Sealing and Pressure Testing
All identified leaks and gaps are sealed using EPA-approved mastic sealant or metal-backed tape. We then perform pressure testing at 25 pascals to confirm proper sealing and measure airflow balance across all vents.
Final Inspection and Documentation
Complete walkthrough of sealed system with airflow verification at each register. You receive before-and-after photos, pressure test results, and estimated annual energy savings in writing.
