Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

Air duct repair in Pebble Creek, FL typically runs $325 – $850 for most flex-duct replacement jobs, and $1,100 – $2,600 when a full trunkline replacement is needed.

What makes duct repair in Pebble Creek different from other Tampa-area neighborhoods is simple: the housing stock is 25 – 35 years old, and the original flex duct installed when these homes went up was never designed to last this long in Florida humidity. We’ll dig into that below.

Homeowners in Pebble Creek often tell us they’ve had a bad experience with a duct company that quoted one price over the phone and another after the van pulled away. We don’t operate that way. You get a written price before any work begins, and it doesn’t change at the end of the day.
Duct Replacement in Pebble Creek
Duct replacement in Pebble Creek means pulling out the failed flex duct runs and installing new insulated flex that’s sized correctly for your air handler’s blower motor. In this community, we’re almost always replacing original 1990s ductwork that’s at or past the end of its service life. The inner liner of that old flex deteriorates, the outer jacket tears, and the joints at ceiling registers separate, dumping conditioned air into the attic. After three decades of Tampa humidity, most of it simply can’t be patched.
When Replacement Beats Repair
If we find the inner liner has disintegrated or mold has colonized the duct surface, a patch job won’t hold. Course-side homes in Pebble Creek, especially those backing up to retention ponds or fairway irrigation, show heavier biological growth on duct liners than homes a few streets inland. When the liner itself is the problem, it has to come out. A replacement run for a single bedroom typically costs $325 – $575 in Pebble Creek. Replacing a full trunkline that feeds multiple rooms runs $1,100 – $2,600.
What We See in 1990s Pebble Creek Attics
The original flex supply ducts in most Pebble Creek homes were run through attics that get brutally hot from May through October. That heat, combined with the humidity from the golf course ponds and irrigation, breaks down the plastic inner liner years before the outside looks bad. We’ve pulled duct runs here that crumbled in our hands. The homeowners had no idea because the outside looked intact.
Ductwork Installation in Pebble Creek
Ductwork installation in Pebble Creek is the right call when multiple runs have failed or the original system was never properly sized. New construction here, especially the homes built between 1990 and 2005, often left the factory with ductwork that was marginally adequate on day one. Twenty-five years later, it’s not adequate at all. We install new flex duct with proper R-value insulation, sealed at every joint and register boot, sized to your blower motor’s actual airflow specs.
New Builds and Builder Dust
Here’s something most Pebble Creek homeowners don’t expect when they buy a new or recently built home: drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris sitting inside the supply and return ducts. Builders don’t clean the ductwork at handover, and the blower motor pushes that debris into the living space every cooling season. If you just closed on a Pebble Creek home and you’re finding fine dust on furniture within days of cleaning, that’s usually where it’s coming from.
Sizing It Right
We regularly see duct systems in Pebble Creek where the original installer undersized the runs to the rear bedrooms. Those rooms never cool properly, no matter how low you set the thermostat. Proper ductwork installation means measuring static pressure and airflow, not just swapping out old flex for new flex of the same diameter. In Pebble Creek, a proper install runs $400 – $1,000 per room, and it’s work that should only be done by a trained professional. Flex duct installation on a slab foundation home with attic access is manageable, but it involves working in tight, hot spaces. If you’re not comfortable on a ladder in an attic, call us.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pebble Creek
We work on and install equipment from Nikro, the trade standard for negative-pressure duct extraction, and we stock air-quality products from Honeywell and Aprilaire for Pebble Creek jobs. That means when we find a failed duct run during inspection, we don’t have to order parts and come back two weeks later. We carry the common sizes and fittings on the truck. For Pebble Creek homeowners, fast turnaround matters because when your bedroom duct has a tear, you’re paying to cool the attic every single day until it’s fixed.
Common Air Duct Repair Problems We See in Pebble Creek Homes
- Disintegrated flex duct liner in original 1990s systems. The inner plastic liner breaks down into fragments that get blown into the living space. The fix is removing the failed run and installing new insulated flex, not wrapping tape around the outside.
- Disconnected joints at ceiling register boots. In Pebble Creek attics, we find supply ducts that have separated from the register boot entirely. The air handler is still running, but a large share of the conditioned air is going straight into the attic, and the joints need to be pulled back together, sealed, and strapped.
- Mold and algae on course-side duct surfaces. Homes backing up to the golf course fairways or retention ponds show visibly heavier biological growth on duct liners than homes a few streets away from the water. Nighttime fairway irrigation raises outdoor dew points enough to overwhelm attic duct insulation during Florida’s long shoulder seasons.
- Builder debris left in ducts at handover. Drywall dust, sawdust, and drywall screws end up inside supply and return ducts during construction. The blower motor pushes this debris into the living space every cooling season, and it needs source removal, not just a surface wipe.

FAQs About Air Duct Repair in Pebble Creek
If your Pebble Creek home still has its original flex duct, the answer is almost certainly repair or replacement, not just cleaning. Flex duct has a service life of roughly 20 – 25 years in Florida’s climate, and most Pebble Creek homes are now 25 – 35 years old. The inner liner breaks down, the outer jacket tears, and the joints at ceiling registers separate. Cleaning won’t fix a disconnected duct or a disintegrated liner. A camera inspection through the ceiling registers will tell you exactly what you’re dealing with. Call (980) 447-2498 to schedule an inspection, and we’ll give you an honest assessment with a written price.
Because builders don’t clean the ductwork at handover. In Pebble Creek, we regularly find drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris inside supply and return ducts in homes that have never had a single duct service. That debris gets pushed into the living space by the blower motor every time the AC runs. The fix is source removal with negative-pressure extraction, not a surface wipe. If you’re finding fine white dust on furniture within days of cleaning, that’s the likely source.
Yes. Homes on the fairway side of Pebble Creek or backing up to a retention pond show heavier mold and algae growth on duct surfaces than homes a few streets inland. The course’s nightly irrigation raises the outdoor dew point enough to overwhelm attic duct insulation during the shoulder seasons, and that moisture creates ideal conditions for biological growth. A surface wipe or spray-on encapsulant won’t fix it. The affected liner has to come out and be replaced. If you’re course-side, we recommend a camera inspection before you spend money on cleaning alone.
A proper duct repair in Pebble Creek starts with a camera inspection through the ceiling registers to see what’s actually failed, not a guess from the driveway. Then we build negative pressure with HEPA filtration to contain any debris or biological material, pull the failed run, perform source removal on the trunkline if needed, and install new insulated flex duct sized to your blower motor. Every joint gets sealed and strapped. Finally, we test airflow at the register to confirm the room is getting the air it should. The whole job is covered by a written guarantee with a free second visit if a covered repair fails.
The most common signs we hear from Pebble Creek homeowners are uneven cooling between rooms, a musty smell from the vents, dust appearing on furniture right after cleaning, and higher electric bills during the summer. If the rear bedrooms of your 1990s Pebble Creek home have never cooled properly, the original flex supply ducts to those rooms are probably undersized, torn, or disconnected. A camera inspection will show exactly what’s happening. Call (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate, and we’ll send a technician’s name and photo before the visit.
