Answers To All Your Duct Lining Questions, From Our Experts

Your ducts provide conditioned air throughout your home, and if they're damaged or leaking, you're not only missing out on comfort. You're also risking poor indoor air quality and a lot of stress on your wallet from utility bells. But the notion of fixing your ductwork can be daunting - which is why the experts here at Trenchless Innovations are here to answer all of your questions.

Video inspections typically take between 1-3 hours, but there are other factors to consider like the size of your home and how accessible your vents are.

What types of air duct pipes can be lined?

Most any type of pipe can be lined with our duct lining material. The most common types of underground pipes are galvanized, concrete, transite, clay tile, PVC or cardboard. Our product is designed with a high adhesion value and compatible with all of these types of pipe.

Can mold grow inside the pipe once it's lined?

Our product contains 3% zinc, so mold is unable to grow inside the newly lined pipe. Mold typically grows inside air ducts when there are holes in the pipe – allowing dirt and moisture to enter the pipe. Our product covers and seals these holes and prevents future mold growth.

Will installing the liner in my pipe reduce the air flow?

Lining the duct actually improves airflow because it creates a smooth surface for air to flow and seals off any holes that have reduced airflow in the past.

How long will the duct lining process take?

Our duct restoration process typically takes between two to three visits to complete dependent on the condition of your underground ductwork.

Do you offer financing?

Currently we have a 12 month no payment, no interest option. We also have a 5-year 6.99% loan option which allows you to make low monthly payments.

Is the liner safe for children, pets, and pregnant women?

Yes. We use Duct Armor, which is completely non-toxic. It is also environmentally safe. It is water based and contains no VOCs (volatile organic compounds). It is able to combat mold growth because of a high zinc content. It also has a NFPA Class A fire rating, so it truly poses no threat to your home or its occupants. You will not have to evacuate your home at any point, and you can use your HVAC system immediately afterwards.

Does the liner have an odor?

Because the product is latex-based, you may experience an odor similar to that of freshly painted walls. This is harmless, as our product does not contain harmful chemicals, and it should disappear within 3-7 days after application.

Will I have to leave my house during the application?

No! The great thing about our product is the safety of it. You and your family can stay home during the process.

Is underground ductwork inspected during a home inspection?

Unfortunately, most home inspections do not include a complete inspection of underground ductwork. Home inspectors typically don’t have the equipment necessary to inspect the entire underground duct system; however, they will usually perform a visual inspection of the heat registers.

Will my existing home warranty cover repairs to my underground ductwork?

Not likely. Home warranties usually only cover repairs to underground ductwork if the damage is caused by leaking or ruptured drain or water supply lines.

What is the warranty on the product?

Trenchless Innovations provides a 15 year limited warranty on the installation of the product, however, the liner itself is designed with a 30+ year life expectancy!

Is the duct liner only installed at the registers opening?

No! Our patented process covers the entire pipe, including the register opening and all fittings. Unlike pulled-in-place liners, our liquid liner is able to reach all areas of the system from existing access points.
