Why Nova Air Duct Cleaning Service Austin Is Camp Swift’s Preferred Duct Repair & Sealing Company
More than 1,255 homeowners have reviewed our work, averaging 4.9 stars — that volume matters because it means we’ve seen virtually every duct configuration Central Texas can throw at us. Douglas Ross serves as lead technician on Camp Swift jobs, so the person whose name is on the company is the same person crawling your attic or crawl space. Eight years focused exclusively on air duct and HVAC cleaning means we don’t split attention between carpet cleaning or general handyman work — this is our sole trade.
Camp Swift residents tell us they value one-trip solutions. Rural properties mean longer service drives, and nobody wants to schedule a return visit because the crew showed up under-equipped. We stock professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro systems, mastic sealant, and insulated flex duct on every truck. From cleaning to repair to sanitizing, we handle the full scope — no passing you off to a subcontractor.
Our response time to the 78602 ZIP code and surrounding Bastrop County roads is typically same-day for calls placed before noon, next-day for afternoon requests. We know which rural routes flood in heavy rain and which properties have locked gates or long gravel drives — small details that keep us on schedule and respect your time.
Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Camp Swift
Duct Sealing
Air leaks in Camp Swift ductwork waste 20–30% of conditioned air on average, and in older manufactured homes off FM 20 or FM 535, that number climbs higher. We seal supply and return plenums, junction boxes, and register boots using mastic sealant — not duct tape, which deteriorates in our humidity. For post-wildfire rebuilds, we pay special attention to sealing around new construction debris that can compromise joint integrity.
Flex Duct Repair
Flex duct is common in Camp Swift’s 1970s–1990s housing stock, and it doesn’t age gracefully under our temperature swings and rodent pressure. Sagging runs, crushed sections, and torn insulation are standard finds in attics here. We replace damaged flex with new R-6 or R-8 insulated product, support it properly to prevent future sagging, and seal every connection with mastic. On a recent job off Old Lockhart Road at a 1970s ranch house that survived the 2011 fire, we discovered a 30-foot flex duct run with a large tear from debris impact and embedded soot. We replaced the entire run with new insulated flex duct, applied mastic sealant at all connections, and installed a Rotobrush cleaning to remove residual ash. The homeowner, a self-reliant retiree, appreciated our one-trip solution that saved them from calling a second crew.
Metal Duct Repair
Galvanized steel ductwork in older Camp Swift homes develops seam separations and rust spots, especially where condensation collects in our humid summers. We repair metal runs with proper sheet metal patches, sealant, and mechanical fasteners — no shortcuts with foil tape that’ll peel in six months. For properties with oversized HVAC systems relative to duct capacity, we also assess whether metal modifications are needed to handle airflow without whistling or pressure loss.
Duct Insulation
Uninsulated or degraded duct insulation in Camp Swift attics costs you serious efficiency when outdoor temperatures hit triple digits. We install fresh fiberglass wrap or replace insulated flex entirely, focusing on the long runs common in rural properties where ducts travel farther from central units to distant rooms. Proper insulation also reduces condensation that leads to mold — a real concern in our high-humidity months.
Mastic Sealant Application
Mastic is our go-to for durable, flexible seals that survive Central Texas temperature cycling. We brush-apply it to all flex-to-metal transitions, plenum connections, and repair junctions. In Camp Swift’s older manufactured homes, improper mastic application on flex duct joints leads to air leaks and allergen infiltration within one season, especially under high summer humidity. We see this failure mode repeatedly and correct it with full surface preparation and proper coating thickness.
Air Leak Repair
Disconnected ducts, blown-off registers, and damaged boots create the most obvious symptoms — hot rooms, dust plumes, and spiking energy bills. We pressure-test when needed, locate leaks methodically, and repair with materials matched to your existing system. For homes with soot and ash from unremediated wildfire damage, we clean before sealing; otherwise sealing materials fail prematurely and smoke odors linger during peak HVAC use.

Trusted Brands We Service in Camp Swift
We maintain stock of Honeywell media filters and Aprilaire humidifier components for Camp Swift customers who want integrated air quality improvements alongside their duct repairs. Our Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning systems handle the heavy particulate loads common in fire-affected properties — standard shop vacuums can’t touch embedded soot. For sanitizing after repair, we use Abatement Technologies products where odor remediation or microbial concern exists. Having these brands on hand means faster turnaround and no waiting for parts orders on rural jobs where return trips are especially costly to your schedule.
Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Camp Swift Homes
- Improper mastic on flex joints in older manufactured homes. The original sealant was thin or poorly applied, and our humidity breaks it down fast. We strip and reapply properly — usually adding mechanical support straps to prevent joint stress.
- Soot-embedded duct lining from unremediated 2011 wildfire exposure. Homes that survived but weren’t professionally cleaned still exhale smoke odor when the HVAC runs hard in July and August. Basic filter changes don’t reach this contamination — it requires mechanical agitation and extraction before any sealing work.
- Crushed or torn flex in long attic runs. Camp Swift’s rural properties often have 40-foot-plus duct spans to reach distant rooms, and unsupported flex sags, crimps, or gets damaged by storage activity or wildlife. We replace with properly supported new material.
- Damaged duct transitions at garage-to-house walls in acreage properties. Heavy-duty doors and oversized transitions in rural homes get knocked, bumped by equipment, or improperly modified by previous owners. These wall penetrations leak significant conditioned air and are routinely missed during standard repairs.

FAQs — Duct Repair & Sealing in Camp Swift
Yes — post-wildfire rebuilds in Camp Swift often have residual construction debris and occasional soot infiltration that standard duct sealing ignores. We clean with Rotobrush systems before applying mastic or replacing flex, ensuring seals adhere properly and odors don’t resurface. Call (833) 315-4216 for a free assessment of your rebuild’s duct condition.
The odor comes from soot embedded in your duct lining, not from dirty filters — filters don’t reach the interior duct surface where ash particles adhere. This is common in Camp Swift homes that survived the 2011 Bastrop Complex Fire without professional remediation, and it requires mechanical duct cleaning plus sealing to resolve permanently. We encounter this regularly and can eliminate it — call (833) 315-4216 for an estimate.
Yes — we service detached workshops and outbuilding HVAC regularly on Camp Swift acreage properties, including oversized duct transitions and long underground or overhead runs. We bring sufficient flex, insulation, and mastic to complete rural outbuilding work without return trips. Call (833) 315-4216 to describe your setup and get a same-week estimate.
We can replace sagging flex duct entirely — repair alone usually fails because aged insulation and torn vapor barriers continue degrading. We install new supported flex with proper slope and mastic-sealed connections, which solves both the sagging and the air leaks common in 1970s–1980s manufactured homes here. Call (833) 315-4216 for pricing on your specific layout.
The Lost Pines loblolly pollen in spring plus December–February cedar pollen creates a dual allergen load that clogs filters fast and forces higher static pressure on your duct system — pressure that blows out weak seals. Proper mastic application and intact flex duct are your best defense against pollen infiltration through leaks. We inspect seal integrity as part of every Camp Swift repair and can upgrade filtration with Honeywell or Aprilaire media filters — call (833) 315-4216 to schedule.
