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.

Ductwork Repair in Thompson’s Station
Ductwork Repair in Thompson’s Station is what we do most often in homes built between 2003 and 2022, and the cause is almost always the same: flex duct in unconditioned attics that was rushed through the build-out and now rests kinked, disconnected, or partially collapsed. We remove the damaged section, re-run and reseal the branch, and verify static pressure at the air handler so the fix actually holds. A single-branch repair in Thompson’s Station usually runs $450 – $750. If multiple branches are failing or the trunk line is compromised, expect $900 – $1,800. We use NADCA-standard source removal and HEPA filtration so we’re not just patching the problem – we’re pulling out what collected inside.
Flex Duct Re-Sealing and Branch Repair
Attic flex duct pulls apart at the takeoff collars over time, especially in the humid Middle Tennessee summers when metal expands and contracts. We re-seat the inner liner, secure it with mastic and UL-181 rated tape, and insulate the connection. This is the most common repair we make in Canterbury, Waverly, and Tollgate Village.
Debris Pocket Removal and Static Pressure Verification
A kinked section of flex duct isn’t just a leak. It traps red-clay construction dust and drywall debris that has been in the system since the house was framed. After we cut out the crushed section and re-run it, we verify static pressure at the air handler to make sure the room actually gets airflow. If we don’t measure, we haven’t finished.
Duct Replacement in Thompson’s Station
Duct Replacement in Thompson’s Station is the fix when repair isn’t enough. That happens when flex duct in a hot attic has been kinked for years and the inner liner is cracked, or when condensation has soaked the insulation and mold has colonized the duct wall. Replacement in Thompson’s Station typically runs $1,200 – $3,200 depending on how many branches are bad and how long the runs are. Some 5,000+ sq ft homes with multi-zone systems and long branching runs need full attic replacement, which lands at the higher end. We walk you through why replacement is the only honest fix, and the written price includes everything: materials, labor, sealing, and verification.
Full Flex Duct Replacement
In houses where every supply-side branch is undersized or collapsed, we replace the entire attic flex run. We use insulated R-6 or R-8 flex duct and reconnect every branch with mastic-sealed collars. This is common in the larger Waverly homes where original builder-grade duct has simply maxed its lifespan.
Trunk Line and Plenum Repair or Replacement
Sometimes the branch lines are fine and the problem is the trunk line above the air handler. A crushed trunk line throttles the entire system. We can often repair the plenum in place; if not, we replace the trunk run and reconnect all branches. The price is covered in writing before we touch the system.
Trusted Brands We Service in Thompson’s Station
We use and service equipment from trade-trusted brands including Rotobrush and Aprilaire. For Thompson’s Station homeowners, that means the brand-name filtration and airflow components you already own can usually be repaired or upgraded on the spot. We stock common replacement parts for the systems we see in Canterbury, Tollgate Village, and Waverly, so turnaround is fast. If a Honeywell zone damper is failing or an Aprilaire filter housing is cracked, we don’t have to order it and wait a week. The faster we fix it, the sooner your home breathes right again. And every repair, no matter the brand, carries our written guarantee and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Common Air Duct Repair Problems We See in Thompson’s Station Homes
- Kinked or collapsed flex duct in unconditioned attics. Homes built during the 2003 – 2022 build-out have long flex runs in hot, humid attic spaces. Plastic flex that was slightly kinked at install becomes fully collapsed within a decade, killing airflow to the room it serves.
- Construction dust contamination from the build phase. When Canterbury and Tollgate Village subdivisions were being framed, adjacent tracts were still being graded. Red-clay dust and drywall debris were pulled into brand-new ductwork before the first owner ever closed. That contamination baseline is still there years later.
- Condensation damage on multi-zone systems. Large homes with zoned dampers and long, branching runs through unconditioned attic space are the classic Thompson’s Station configuration. Humid Middle Tennessee air makes the inside of that flex duct sweat, and that moisture degrades seals and invites mold.
- Debris pockets that mimic an undersized system. We regularly hear homeowners say, “The upstairs never cools – the builder sized the AC too small.” Often the unit is sized fine. The problem is a debris pocket choking a supply branch. Remove the pocket, and the room hits setpoint that afternoon.
Pricing for Air Duct Repair in Thompson’s Station, TN
Here’s what you should expect to pay for air duct repair in Thompson’s Station. A single branch repair or re-seal runs $450 – $750. Multiple branches or a trunk line repair lands in the $900 – $1,800 range. A full attic duct replacement in a 3,000 – 5,000 square foot subdivision home typically runs $1,200 – $3,200.

FAQs About Air Duct Repair in Thompson’s Station
Because the build-out timing matters more than the house’s age. Most Thompson’s Station subdivisions were framed fast between 2003 and 2022, and while your house was going up, the tract next door was still being graded. That means Tennessee red-clay dust and drywall debris were being pulled into your brand-new ductwork during construction. Flex duct installed in hot attics was often kinked or partially collapsed from day one. Ten years later, the kink becomes a full blockage. You’re not imagining the problem; it was built in. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll camera-inspect your ductwork to show you what’s actually there.
Yes, and we do regularly. Tollgate Village has mixed-use buildings with shared building systems and stacked dryer vents, which means lint and debris can travel between units. A single clogged run affects your neighbor’s dryer. We work with building management for access, and our equipment fits through standard condo doors and stairwells. We know the parking is tight, and we plan for it. The repair itself carries the same written guarantee as any single-family home in Thompson’s Station. Call us for the exact scope and price.
Usually not. In Thompson’s Station homes, we find that the system is sized correctly but the supply-side flex duct in the attic is kinked or collapsed. A debris pocket chokes airflow to that room, so the air handler is running fine but the conditioned air never arrives. We saw this recently in a 2011 Tollgate Village home where the upstairs bonus room never cooled. A camera inspection revealed a partially collapsed flex run. We cut out the crushed section, re-ran and resealed the branch, and the room hit setpoint that same afternoon. Before you pay for a new HVAC unit, have someone look at the ductwork. Call (980) 447-2498.
Yes. Stacked dryer vents in Thompson’s Station condos and apartments collect lint far past the trap – that’s the leading factor in home dryer fires. In multi-unit buildings, the whole stack shares airflow, so one clogged run pushes lint back into neighboring units. We clear and repair those shared runs, and we replace damaged vent sections when needed. If your building’s dryer vent hasn’t been cleared in years, now is the time. Each unit gets a written record of what was done.
Yes, we follow NADCA standards on every repair job. That means source removal, not just surface cleaning. We inspect with a camera, cut out the damaged duct section, re-run and reseal the branch using mastic and UL-181 rated tape, and then verify static pressure at the air handler. We don’t consider the job done until the measurements show the airflow is right. Every repair includes a written price before work begins and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
