Is $120 to encapsulate fiberglass in ductboard boots with mastic a fair price?
Project Details
I have been finding fiberglass crystals/fibers in all of our household dust. I have a company coming to clean the ducts tomorrow as we originally thought it was residual fibers from when the ductboard plenums were replaced with metal ones. Then I realized all the upstairs registers have ductboard boots. I am questioning if applying mastic on the inside of the boots is standard practice or a reasonable solution, and if it poses other health concerns, as an alternative to replacing all 12 boots.
Quote Details
