Flexible air duct - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

I have to get an estimate ready to e-mail out first thing tomorrow from some water damage in a home. The flexible, insulated air duct leading from the air handler to the floor vent got filled with water and needs to be replaced. Can someone give me an idea how much this stuff runs for around 30'? It looked to be 10"-12" in diameter.
Thanks,
Rob

Probably $35.-40 for 25ft. of the silver jacketed insulated type with clear inner liner & metal helix. 10"-12"

Thanks...so $50 ought to cover it.
Just wondering....I remember seeing the reason for the exclamation point as a bad post. I'm seeing it often and see it under your name on my post. What's happenin' with that?
Edited 3 minutes later...never mind. Just figured it out.

Robie,
Was the duct filled with water from another source, or from the air conditioner running and subsiquent condensation. Either way, make sure you eliminate the problem at the source.
