Clearing the Way for Better Airflow: A Chattanooga Drywall and Vent Upgrade Story
Links:
The Challenge
When a homeowner in Chattanooga found their bedroom air felt restricted and paint was flaking around the ceiling vent, it became a pressing concern. The original vent boot was too tight in the duct space, limiting airflow and sending dust into the living area.
The Solution
A skilled HEP technician tackled the issue with care:
- Removed the old boot and enlarged the ceiling opening to the proper size.
- Fitted a larger, elbow-style vent boot that aligned perfectly with the existing ductwork.
- Sealed the flexible duct to optimize airflow and prevent leaks.
- Repaired the ceiling surface with fresh drywall compound and matched paint.
- Laid down drop cloths and covered furniture and window treatments to keep surroundings clean.
