Air Duct Cleaning Company in Kirkwood, MO
If your Kirkwood home has rooms that never heat evenly or a register that whistles when the furnace kicks on, the problem is usually the ductwork itself, not the furnace. Bellmont Air Duct Cleaning focuses on air duct repair first because most of what we find in Kirkwood is failing metal, not dirty air alone. This is one of the oldest inner-ring suburbs in St. Louis County, and the vintage housing stock here changes how the work gets done. Call (877) 349-6189 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you what your ducts actually need.
Why Kirkwood Homes Are Different
Kirkwood sits inside the humid Midwest transition zone, and that shapes ductwork in ways homeowners don’t expect. Sticky St. Louis summers push heavy AC runtime, which drives condensation through attic and crawl space runs. Freezing winters and spring pollen surges take the system through a yearly cycle of moisture, dust, and allergen load, and it all settles into old unsealed metal. Much of the 63122 housing went up between the 1920s and 1960s, so the ducts behind the walls are frequently unsealed galvanized sheet-metal runs in unconditioned attics and crawl spaces. Around the downtown Kirkwood core, the 1920s and 1930s homes sometimes still have remnants of coal-era gravity ductwork tucked behind the drywall. Finished attics and basement conversions reroute runs in non-standard ways that no tract-home floor plan prepared anyone for. All of this makes duct work here a repair question before it’s a cleaning question.

Our Main Kirkwood Services
Two services come up most in Kirkwood homes, and both are shaped by what the house was built with.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kirkwood
Cleaning old Kirkwood ductwork means dealing with decades of accumulated dust and rust scale, not new-construction debris. We run professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro extraction systems, and we set up Abatement Technologies containment so the dust leaves your house instead of settling into the next room. Floor-register systems with long horizontal attic or basement runs are the norm here, and the original metal boots pull apart at the seams more often than you’d like. If your ducts are ready for a proper clean, Air Duct Cleaning in Kirkwood covers what we do and how the work is priced.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kirkwood
A dryer that takes two cycles to finish a load is telling you something. Dryer vent cleaning directly addresses a leading cause of residential house fires, and it’s not an air-quality side note. In Kirkwood’s older brick bungalows and Tudor cottages, the vent run often snakes through a finished basement or behind original masonry, which makes lint buildup harder to spot and harder to reach than in a newer house. We clean the full run, not just what’s visible behind the dryer. Book it through Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kirkwood.
Air Duct Repair in Kirkwood
Air duct repair in Kirkwood is mostly about age, not damage from a single event. Homes built in the 1920s through the 1960s have unsealed galvanized runs that have been cycling through humid summers and freezing winters for decades, so seams open, boots separate from the floor, and rust scale takes the edge off connections. Add the coal-era gravity runs still hiding in some walls near downtown and you get systems that leak heavily. We clean it, and if it’s broken, we fix it – same visit.
That starts with Air Duct Repair, which covers what we can diagnose and correct without sending you to a second contractor.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You’ll notice a register blowing noticeably weaker than the others, whistling at the seams, or a run of visible dust collecting on the boot where it meets the floor.
What it costs in Kirkwood
Ductwork repair typically runs $150 to $450 depending on how much of the run has to be resealed or reconnected.
How we do it
We map the system first, then seal joints and boots and reconnect separated metal with proper foil-backed materials rather than tape that fails in the first humid summer.
Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
A run that’s crushed, rusted through, or so old it can’t be resealed is ready for replacement rather than another patch.
What it costs in Kirkwood
Duct replacement generally falls between $450 and $1,200 for a section, depending on access and how much runs through a finished attic or basement.
How we do it
We measure the existing run, pull out the failing section, and install new ducting sized to your system so airflow doesn’t change character on you.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Kirkwood
| Item | Typical range in Kirkwood |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (reseal, reconnect) | $150 – $450 |
| Duct replacement (per section) | $450 – $1,200 |
| Full HVAC duct installation | $1,200 – $3,500 |
Two things push price up fast in Kirkwood: finished attic and basement conversions that cut access, and original homes where a run has to be rebuilt rather than resealed. We give you one flat price for the job agreed before work starts, so the invoice matches the estimate.
Can you fix a crushed duct found during cleaning?
Yes. When we find a crushed or separated run mid-clean, we diagnose it in place and repair it on the same visit rather than leaving you to find someone else.
Do you handle full HVAC duct installation in Kirkwood?
We replace and install ductwork as part of our repair work, sized to the system already in the house. We don’t install furnaces or AC units.
Brands We Service in Kirkwood
We work with Honeywell and Aprilaire air-quality systems, and our cleaning equipment comes from Rotobrush and Nikro. We can also recommend systems that fit what your Kirkwood home needs. Parts come through standard supply channels, so allow a few days for anything non-stock. See the full list on our brands page.

What Kirkwood Customers Say
"Did the dryer vent while they were here for a small add on price. The dryer now finishes a load in one cycle instead of two."
- Malik Bryant"Quoted per system rather than the bait and switch per vent pricing everybody else in town uses. The number I was told on the phone was the number on the invoice."
- Whitney Sutton"Fair price and thorough work. They ran about an hour and a half past the estimated finish time, so don't schedule anything tight after."
