This page is for Jacksonville homeowners running Abatement Technologies air filtration and duct systems, typically the HEPA-AIRE and PREDATOR series found in older homes from Ortega to Arlington. If your airflow has dropped, your utility bill has climbed, or you’re hearing whistling from the registers, you’re probably dealing with duct leakage or flex duct degradation that’s specific to how these units were installed in our humidity. We don’t bait with low coupons and change the price at the door. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- HEPA-AIRE SAH2 and SAH4 series: flex duct collapse at the filtration unit connection. The high static pressure these units generate, combined with Jacksonville’s summer heat cycling, causes the flexible duct sleeve to sag and separate at the plenum collar. We see this routinely in homes built between 1995 and 2010 in the Mandarin area. Our fix is a rigidized transition with a mechanical collar and mastic seal, not just tape, so the connection holds under load.
- PREDATOR 750 and 800 portable units: cracked return duct adapters from repeated relocation. These units move job-site to job-site in some contractor setups, but in Jacksonville residential use they’re often semi-permanent in garages or utility rooms. The plastic adapter flange fatigues at the bolt points. We fabricate a metal replacement adapter or source the OEM Abatement Technologies part depending on availability, and we reinforce the mounting so it doesn’t repeat.
- HEPA-AIRE PAS2400 and PAS3600 negative air systems: leakage at the main trunk takeoffs. The high CFM draw on these whole-house units exaggerates any gap in the supply plenum. In Jacksonville’s coastal zones, like Atlantic Beach, salt air accelerates corrosion at the sheet metal seams. We seal with fiber-reinforced mastic and add mechanical draw bands where the original installer relied on tape alone.
- Abatement Technologies inline HEPA housings: bypass leakage around the filter frame gasket. The gasket compresses over years of filter changes, and homeowners often don’t realize air is sneaking past the filter entirely. We measure with a smoke pencil to confirm the bypass path, replace the gasket with an OEM-spec silicone unit, and seat the housing with fresh mastic so filtered air stays filtered.
- Flexible duct runs in Abatement Technologies systems: rodent damage and insulation degradation in crawl spaces. Jacksonville’s crawl spaces stay damp eight months a year. We’ve pulled flex duct in San Marco that was more mold than vinyl. We replace with R-8 insulated flex or switch to rigid duct where clearance allows, and we seal the boot connections with mastic, not foil tape that peels in our humidity.
Our Abatement Technologies Duct Repair & Sealing Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks what you’re seeing, and gives you a realistic arrival window. We show up when we say.
- 2
Camera inspection before we start. We run a duct camera through the system to find the exact failure point, whether it’s a separated collar, a crushed flex run, or a corroded seam. You see what we see.
- 3
Diagnosis and upfront pricing. We identify the Abatement Technologies model, check parts availability, and give you one honest price before any work begins. No surprises on the bill.
- 4
Repair with OEM or quality aftermarket parts. We use Abatement Technologies OEM gaskets and collars when available, or we fabricate equivalent components that meet the pressure specs. We never substitute with hardware-store tape jobs.
- 5
Post-repair camera verification and airflow test. We re-inspect the repair and measure static pressure and airflow at the registers. Gene Whitmore won’t sign off until the numbers back it up.
- 6
Cleanup, written guarantee, and 90-Day Done Right Promise. We leave the work area as we found it, hand you the invoice matching the quoted price, and stamp the guarantee. If it’s not right, we make it right with no paperwork and no arguing.

No forms to fill out, no manager to escalate to. We stand behind it because we’ve been standing behind our work for over 42 years. Clean air isn’t complicated - it just takes someone willing to do the work right.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed by a qualified technician using appropriate parts and methods. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we follow the manufacturer’s pressure and sealing specifications so warranty coverage on the filtration unit itself remains intact. Call (866) 995-4721 if you’d like us to review your warranty documents before we start.
Most repairs are completed in two to four hours. A single flex duct replacement or gasket repair might take ninety minutes. Whole-system sealing on a larger Jacksonville home can run a full day. We give you a time estimate with the upfront price, and most jobs finish in one visit.
Repair is the better value if the filtration unit still performs and the damage is localized to duct runs or connections. We recommend replacement when the unit is past fifteen years, has repeated motor or blower failures, or when repair costs exceed half the price of a comparable new installation. Our free estimate includes an honest assessment either way.
OEM gaskets, collars, and adapter flanges are usually available within a few business days. For urgent jobs, we stock quality aftermarket equivalents that meet the same pressure ratings, and we fabricate metal adapters in-house when needed. We won’t leave you waiting on a backordered part if there’s a reliable alternative.
We answer calls live 24 hours a day, and we schedule same-day appointments when the schedule allows. For complete airflow loss or a separated main trunk in summer heat, we prioritize getting a technician out fast. Call (866) 995-4721 - we’ll give you a real arrival time, not a four-hour window with no follow-up.
Call Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. of Jacksonville at (866) 995-4721 for a free estimate on your Abatement Technologies duct repair or sealing.
