rotted ducts
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2009 8:04 pm
Hi!
I am back to unclogging the heating ducts in the bank repo mobile home.
I found that there is a lot of rotted out holes in the ducts mostly directly under the heating vent openings. I am wondering what material I can use to patch the ducts from the inside, and what adhesive would be best?
I found that I can lay a flash light in a duct, and put a hinged make-up mirror in the next duct down, at an angle, and see what is laying in there.
I also can use the hinged mirror and hold it at an angle, and shine the LED flashlight down on it, and it reflects the light down the duct for me to see stuff. I have gotten a lot out, the next thing I will try is a dryer duct brush, to see if I can pull the stuff that is 5 to 6 feet away to the vent opening to remove it.
