Ductwork - Duct Tape does not Support Flexible Ducts in Salisbury, MD

This may come as a shock - but duct tape was never meant to be used on ducts. It became popular in WWII as a tool to keep moisture from entering into ammunition cases. After that, duct tape became the end-all solution for all home repairs, especially duct work. Duct tape does not have a strong enough adhesive to keep ducts together and prevent air leaks from happening, as shown in this Salisbury, MD ductwork. Duct tape may work for a temporary fix lasting a week or two, but anything beyond that is no longer beneficial. Duct tape combined with flexible ducts that easily breakdown should be replaced as soon as possible.
