If your home feels stuffy or your energy bills keep creeping up, the problem might be your ductwork. Leaky air ducts are common in homes around Olympia, Puget Sound, SeaTac and more of Western Washington.
Many systems lose up to 30 percent of conditioned air before it reaches the rooms you use.
That’s where the Aeroseal duct sealing system comes in. At Black Hills Inc., we use this advanced technology to seal leaks from the inside. There’s no cutting, no mess, and no guesswork.

Aeroseal duct sealing is a high-tech solution that seals hidden leaks inside your duct system. Instead of using foil tape or mastic by hand, Aeroseal fills your ductwork with a safe mist made of microscopic sealing particles.
As air moves through the system, the particles collect at the edges of leaks and gradually close them up. The process is computer-controlled from start to finish and gives you clear proof of how much leakage was stopped.
It’s a cleaner and more effective way to solve comfort issues without opening walls or ceilings.
How the Aeroseal Duct Sealing System Seals Hidden Leaks
This isn’t your average patch job. Aeroseal is designed to reach places you can’t see or fix by hand.
Here’s how it works:
- We block off your vents to pressurize the duct system.
- A technician injects the Aeroseal mist into the ducts.
- The mist flows through the system and collects at leak points.
- As it builds up, it seals the leaks from the inside.
- The system runs a test before and after to show results.
It seals holes as small as a pinhole and as wide as half an inch. Even ductwork buried in crawl spaces or behind walls can be treated.
Breathe Easier: Key Benefits of Aeroseal for Your Home
This isn’t just about energy use. When your ducts are sealed properly, everything works better. Your comfort improves, your air gets cleaner, and your utility costs go down.
- Cleaner air. Sealed ducts stop dust and insulation from entering your air.
- Even temperatures. No more rooms that are too hot or cold.
- Lower energy use. Less air loss means shorter system run times.
- Less noise. Fixing pressure issues often reduces rattling.
- Longer system life. Your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard.
- Measured results. You’ll see the improvement in a printed report.
Is Aeroseal the Right Solution for Your Home’s Air Ducts?
Many homes can benefit from Aeroseal duct sealing, especially if you notice:
- Hot or cold spots in different rooms
- Finished ceilings or tight spaces that block access
- Rising utility bills without explanation
- Dust collecting around vents
- Older or uninsulated ductwork
- Additions or basements that never feel comfortable
If that sounds familiar, we can help. We also recommend duct cleaning beforehand so the sealant bonds to clean surfaces and works at its best.
Common Signs Your Ductwork May Need Sealing
Watch for these signs of leaky ducts:
- Rooms that are too hot or cold
- Extra dust throughout your home
