Attic Duct Joint Seal and Mastic Restoration on Park St in Riverside
Park St, Riverside
Property Type: renovated brick duplex
The Problem: The homeowner noticed severe dust accumulation around ceiling registers and a 25% spike in their summer cooling bill.
Discovery & Diagnostic: A crawl-through attic inspection revealed that three major return and supply duct joints had split open due to failed tape, leaking cold air into the attic and sucking in fiberglass dust.
Resolution: We scraped off the old dry tape and applied thick coats of fiber-reinforced mastic paste over all joint seams. We wrapped the main plenums in new R-8 foil insulation jackets and balanced supply dampers for even flow.
