Clearing the Way for Better Airflow: A Chattanooga Drywall and Vent Upgrade Story

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.
