Ductwork is typically comprised of pre-insulated fiberglass duct board, or malleable plastic however, it could also be constructed from ductwork made of sheet metal (a pipe made of sheet metal) that is then insulated after it has been installed.

Common ductwork problems
- The ductwork that is aging may be beginning to deteriorate. Depending on the type of ductwork that is in your home, over typically between 10 and 10 years the outer liner begins or is beginning to break down and the insulation begins to fall off. If this happens in an attic that is over 100 degrees it could mean that the temperature of the air will be 10-15 degrees warmer when it enters your home and can result in an increase in heating and cooling costs of between 40 and 60 percentage. To address this problem, all damaged or damaged ductwork should be replaced.
- Leaks in the air ducts occur when duct sealants that are old begin to fail or the contractor who installed it didn’t properly protect the ductwork.
- Rodents, like squirrels and rats, can also damage the ductwork while searching for a nest that is cool in the Texas hot weather. It is a good idea to inspect your attic if there was previously encountered rodent problems.

They gnaw their way through the ductwork, hoping to find an enchanted and safe place to live, and leave the AC pipes damaged. They aren’t visible however, you may detect them or smell the odor.

A few ducts are damaged as a result of flooding. When water is able to get inside the AC ducts, the water remains for a long time, causing the ducts to shrink and become damaged. Sometimes, people get into the ductwork and crush and cause damage to the ducts.
