Repair Air Ducts in Crawlspace
I have flexible air ducts (non-metallic, insulated, lined) in the crawlspace under my floor. One of the air ducts disconnected from the register box.
What is the best way to reconnect the duct to the register box?

For now pull the inside of it out some and slip it back on the register boot. Home depot has the bands you need to put on this. put one on then pull the outside of the pipe down over it all and put another band on it. They also have a pipe and duct mastic to put over it then .
Id also ask do you have a 6mil poly down on the ground there and the wall insulated in the crawl space?

Regarding the 6mil poly, I assume you're referring to a sheet of plastic on the ground... Yes, it's covering the entire area. The walls are concrete.
