Air Duct Cleaning Company in Tice, FL
Air duct repair is the call we get most from Tice homeowners, and it’s rarely about a duct that suddenly failed. It’s about a system that has been quietly leaking, sweating, or growing something behind a closet door for years. Tice’s older, modest housing stock and the long humid season here put stress on ductwork that newer construction never sees, and the fixes are usually structural before they’re cosmetic. If your air smells musty or a room never keeps up, call (855) 554-4780 and we’ll take a look at the whole system, not just the register.
Why Tice Homes Are Different
Tice is a small, unincorporated, older working-class community in east Lee County. Much of the housing here is aging, lower-cost stock built before modern duct sealing and filtration standards were common, which means a lot of the ductwork in Tice was installed to a different expectation than what we’d spec today. Original or patchwork flex duct is normal. Air handlers are often shoehorned into closets rather than sitting in a sealed mechanical room, and that single detail drives more of the work we do here than anything else.
Southwest Florida’s humid subtropical climate does the rest. Summers are long and humid, the rainy season pushes moisture into every gap, and hurricane-season power outages let humidity spike indoors while the system sits idle. In Tice, an outage plus an unsealed closet air handler is the classic setup for mold blooming inside flex duct. That’s why storm-and-humidity duct remediation comes up here as often as routine cleaning. It’s not a mid-century suburban tract-retrofit story – the problems are older, cheaper materials meeting a climate that punishes them.

Our Main Tice Services
Most Tice homeowners call us about one of two things: the air quality inside the house, or a duct system that’s been compromised by moisture and age.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tice
Cleaning a duct system in Tice usually starts with the closet air handler, because that’s where the evidence shows up first. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and pull debris from the full run, and Abatement Technologies negative-air containment so what comes loose is captured rather than pushed back into your rooms. On older Tice homes with patchwork flex duct, we also check whether the duct can take a real cleaning before we run a brush through it. For the full breakdown, see Air Duct Cleaning in Tice.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tice
Dryer vents in older Tice homes are often the longest, most convoluted runs in the house – routed through a closet, up a wall, or out under a roofline to make the floor plan work. Lint accumulates at every bend, and a restricted vent makes the dryer work harder while pushing heat back into the machine. We clean the full run, not just the first few feet behind the dryer. The details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tice page.
Air Duct Repair in Tice
Air duct repair in Tice is mostly a moisture story. Homes here date largely to the 1960s through the 1980s, many with original or patched flex duct and air handlers tucked into closets instead of sealed mechanical space. Add hurricane-season outages that let humidity climb indoors, and ductwork that was never sealed to modern standards becomes the place where condensation and microbial growth start. Our Air Duct Repair work here starts by finding the leak or the wet section, not by covering it over.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You need ductwork repair when a room never reaches the temperature the rest of the house does, when you can hear air moving inside a wall or closet, or when the flex duct behind the air handler is visibly crushed, torn, or dark with moisture staining.
What it costs in Tice
Typical ductwork repair in Tice runs $180 to $450 for a small section, and $450 to $1,200 when several runs or a full trunk need rework.
How we do it
We isolate the affected run, cut out the failed section, verify the surrounding duct is dry and sound, then reconnect with properly sized and sealed fittings and re-test airflow at the register before we leave.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Replacement is the honest answer when the duct is delaminating from the inside, when mold has spread through the liner rather than sitting on the surface, or when a Tice home still runs original flex duct that’s been patched repeatedly.
What it costs in Tice
Air duct replacement in Tice typically falls between $1,200 and $3,500 depending on how many runs are being replaced and how accessible the attic and closet routing is.
How we do it
We map the existing system, pull and dispose of the failed duct, install new sealed duct sized to the air handler, and verify static pressure and airflow room by room once the system is back together.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Tice
| Item | Typical range in Tice |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair – small section | $180 – $450 |
| Ductwork repair – multiple runs or trunk | $450 – $1,200 |
| Air duct replacement | $1,200 – $3,500 |
Can air duct repair fix a musty smell in a Tice home?
Often, yes. A musty smell usually traces to moisture in flex duct or at the closet air handler, and repairing or replacing that section removes the source. If the smell persists after repair, the air handler itself needs a closer look.
Is duct repair worth it on an older Tice home, or should I replace the whole system?
Repair first when the failure is localized – one crushed run, one torn fitting. Replace when the duct liner is failing throughout or the system has been patched repeatedly. We’ll tell you which one you’re looking at after we see it.
Brands We Service in Tice
We work on systems built around Honeywell and Aprilaire controls, and we use Abatement Technologies containment equipment on the job.

What Tice Customers Say
"Ran a negative air machine on the whole system rather than the shop vac on a stick that the cheap outfit down the road uses. Showed me the before and after photos from inside the trunk line and it was genuinely disgusting."
- Sarah Hoffman"Quoted per system rather than the bait and switch per vent pricing everybody else in town uses. The number I was told on the phone was the number on the invoice."
- Sanjay Sharma"Found a disconnected run in the crawlspace while they were in there and told me about it rather than cleaning around it."
