Trusted Across the Kansas City Metro
If your ducts are old, leaky, or lined with fiberglass insulation, they could be releasing dust, fibers, or even mold spores into the air you breathe. In many Kansas City area homes, duct cleaning alone isn’t enough — the ducts themselves need to be sealed and protected.
That’s where air duct encapsulation comes in. At Precise Duct Cleaning, we provide air duct encapsulation services in Lee’s Summit, MO and within 30 miles across the Kansas City metro. Encapsulation seals and coats the inside of your ductwork, locking down loose particles, preventing air leaks, and restoring duct systems to a safe, efficient condition.

What Is Air Duct Encapsulation?
Air duct encapsulation is a process where a specialized sealant coating is applied to the inside surfaces of ductwork. It’s designed to:
- Lock down loose fiberglass insulation fibers.
- Prevent mold spores and dust from escaping.
- Seal small leaks and cracks in the ducts.
- Improve indoor air quality and system efficiency.
Think of encapsulation as giving your ducts a protective lining. It’s especially useful for older ducts in crawlspaces, basements, or attics around Lee’s Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, and Raytown where dust and humidity are common.
When Do You Need Duct Encapsulation?
Encapsulation isn’t needed for every home — but in certain cases, it’s the best solution. You may need it if:
- You see fiberglass particles blowing from vents.
- Your ducts have interior insulation that’s deteriorating.
- There’s visible mold growth inside ducts.
- Your ducts leak air, raising energy bills.
- You smell musty odors when HVAC runs.
We often recommend duct encapsulation after a professional duct cleaning, when ducts are clear but still vulnerable to leaks or contamination.
Benefits of Air Duct Encapsulation
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Encapsulation locks down dust, insulation fibers, and mold spores, preventing them from entering your living space.
Mold Prevention
Encapsulation creates a smooth, protective barrier that helps prevent mold regrowth, especially in humid climates like Missouri.
Extended Duct Life
Instead of replacing ductwork, encapsulation restores and extends its usable life — saving thousands in replacement costs.
Odor Control
Musty smells from crawlspaces, basements, or older ducts are reduced or eliminated.
Our Air Duct Encapsulation Process
At Precise Duct Cleaning, we follow a step-by-step process to make sure encapsulation is done safely and effectively:

Dust, debris, and mold are removed using negative air machines and agitation tools.
Duct interiors are dried and prepped for coating.
A professional-grade sealant is sprayed or fogged to coat the interior surfaces.
Small cracks and joints are sealed in the process.
We check airflow, pressure, and cleanliness.
