I have ceiling installed ductwork for my residential HVAC system (both A/C and forced air heat). Last summer I noticed the paint on the ceiling bubbling up in a few spots (clearly a moisture problem) - after ruling out other possible causes I determined that the A/C ductwork was sweating inside the ceiling and dripping.
An A/C guy told me that it's common for mice, etc. to chew into ductwork and since I had a sticker on my air exchanger from "Miami Mice" (like Miami Vice) saying they treated the house some years before I bought it, I figured I might have perferated ductwork.
As I'm sure this is not optimal, I'd like to have the ductwork repaired - although, I don't want to have to ripe the ceilings apart to do it.
Does anyone know of a way I can insert a liner into the existing ductwork to stop the leaking? Or any other solution options?
I found a company that repairs holes in ductwork by spraying a sealant into the ducts but there isn't a rep. within 300 miles. http://www.aeroseal.com/index.html
