Q: How can you tell if your ductwork is damaged?

For handy DIYers, you might be able to find the damage by going into your crawl space, but for those unable to, you should pay a professional for an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hvac-inspection-cost.htm">air duct inspection</a>. </p></div>
