Call (833) 348-8789

We’ve been driving to Larchmont since 1984 - up Palmer Avenue, through the Manor, along the Boston Post Road - and we know these houses. The village’s pre-WWII Colonials, Tudors, and Victorians were built for steam heat, not forced air. When central AC was threaded through them decades later, the job was often done fast and hidden from view. We’re the crew that finds what others miss, repairs what can be saved, and seals it so it stays fixed. Call (833) 348-8789 for a free estimate.

Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. of New York Is Larchmont’s Preferred Duct Repair & Sealing Company

Our Duct Repair & Sealing team has worked in Larchmont homes for over 42 years. We’ve crawled through the damp rim-joist cavities along Long Island Sound, traced airflow problems in houses from the 1920s, and learned which retrofit jobs were done well and which were done to be invisible, not durable. That history matters when your ducts are behind horsehair plaster and there’s no access panel.

Larchmont customers call us back because we show them the problem before we quote the fix. Every job starts with a camera inspection - we feed a scope through the system and show you what we’re seeing. No guessing, no surprises on the bill. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if the repair doesn’t hold, we return at no charge. No paperwork to file, no argument.

Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree, not an app. If you’re in Larchmont and air is blowing weak from a second-floor register at 10 p.m., someone picks up.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the specific challenges of Westchester’s older housing stock. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. And we don’t bait you with a low coupon then change the price at the door - the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.

Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Larchmont

Flex Duct Repair

Flex duct is the black corrugated tubing installed in most Larchmont retrofits from the 1970s through the 1990s. In the village’s cramped crawlspaces and wall cavities, it sags, crushes, and tears at the bends. We see 50% airflow loss or more from flex duct that’s collapsed under its own weight or been chewed by rodents in damp basement areas. Our crew replaces damaged sections with properly supported flex or transitions to smooth metal where space allows. We use mechanical fasteners and professional-grade mastic, not tape that will fail in Larchmont’s coastal humidity. In a Tudor home on Manor Lane, we found that a musty odor traced to a collapsed flex duct from a 1985 retrofit, hidden behind original horsehair plaster. We sealed the leak with mastic and replaced the damaged section with smooth metal duct, restoring airflow without disturbing the historic walls.

Mastic Sealant Application

Air leaks at joints, seams, and register boots waste 20-30% of conditioned air in a typical system. In Larchmont, there’s a compounding problem: the wrong sealant fails fast. Standard duct tape dries and peels within months here. Water-based mastic can re-emulsify in chronically damp crawlspaces along the Sound. We apply fiber-reinforced, solvent-based mastic rated for high-humidity environments, brushed thick at every joint and wrapped with mesh at stress points. The result is a seal that holds through Larchmont’s muggy summers and freeze-thaw winters. We camera-verify every sealed joint before we close up.

Duct Insulation

Uninsulated or degraded ductwork in Larchmont’s damp basements and crawlspaces loses thermal energy and sweats condensation into the surrounding air. That moisture feeds mold and mildew that eventually blows into your living space. We wrap repaired or replaced duct with formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation, sealed with a vapor barrier jacket, to maintain air temperature and prevent condensation. This is especially critical in homes near the waterfront, where basement humidity runs higher year-round than in inland Westchester communities like White Plains or Harrison.

Metal Duct Repair

Some Larchmont homes - particularly later Victorians and early 20th-century houses with larger service basements - have galvanized metal ductwork from mid-century upgrades or partial retrofits. Metal can corrode at the seams, separate at slip joints, or rattle loose from failed hangers. We re-seam, re-hang, and patch metal duct with matching gauge material, then seal and insulate to current standards. Where original plaster walls or decorative millwork make access impossible, we design minimal-intrusion repairs that preserve the architectural fabric.

Trusted Brands We Service in Larchmont

We carry professional-grade equipment and materials from Abatement Technologies, Rotobrush, and Nikro - the same brands serious HVAC contractors specify for commercial and high-end residential work. For Larchmont customers, this means we stock the right mastic compounds, flex duct diameters, and insulation wraps for older retrofit systems, so we’re not ordering parts and making you wait. Most jobs are completed in a single visit. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers materials and labor, and we document every repair with before-and-after camera footage you can keep.

Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Larchmont Homes

• Sagging flex duct in cramped crawlspaces along the Sound causes 50%+ airflow loss, undetected for years. The original installers had limited space and even less incentive to add proper supports. Over decades, gravity and humidity take their toll. Homeowners notice weak airflow upstairs, assume it’s the furnace or AC unit, and never think to look beneath the floorboards.
• Mold in hidden ductwork behind plaster walls goes unnoticed until odors persist, requiring scope-inspection and full sealing. Larchmont’s coastal humidity keeps basement and wall-cavity moisture levels elevated. When that moisture meets dust and organic debris in a dark duct, microbial growth is inevitable. Cleaning the register covers doesn’t touch it. We scope the full run, identify the source, and seal or replace the affected section.
• Incompatible mastic on old flex duct fails within months due to coastal humidity, leading to recurring leaks. We’ve opened up repairs done by other crews where water-based sealant turned to paste and peeled off. The homeowner paid twice. We use the right compound for this environment, applied to manufacturer spec, and we show you the difference on camera.
• Retrofit duct runs snaked behind original horsehair-plaster walls are completely hidden from view and often unsupported. In older Larchmont streets near the Manor and the waterfront, these inaccessible runs are the most common source of musty odors that persist until a full system inspection - not just surface cleaning - is performed.
