So what exactly does the Aeroseal process consist of? The first step is to replace all the room, ceiling or floor registers with foam plugs. Foam also is placed into your air conditioning system so that the sealing particles stay out of the equipment. Once everything is sealed, the exclusive Aeroseal duct sealing system injects adhesive particles into the air. The particles travel through the duct system and attach themselves on holes and cracks. Once the sealing is complete, results will be provided to the customer.
