How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield Cerfractory Foam flue liners develop hairline shrinkage cracks at the top joint where the liner meets the flue collar, especially in Long Beach homes with south-facing chimneys that thermal-cycle hard between morning marine layer and afternoon sun. We camera-scan to map crack depth; shallow cracks get a warranty-safe resurfacing, deep ones get a sectioned reline with DuraFlex or Gelco liner matched to your flue size.
• HeatShield Joint Repair systems in 1980s ranch homes near the traffic circle often show joint separation where the original installer rushed the cure time in humid conditions. The gap looks minor on a flashlight look but vents combustion gases into the smoke chamber. We remove the failed joint material, re-prep with proper cure-time controls, and reapply to factory spec.
• HeatShield Smoke Chamber Parge flakes near the damper throat when applied over oil-soaked brick from decades of unseasoned wood burning. We scrape to sound substrate, treat the oil residue with a ceramic primer, then re-parge so the new coat bonds mechanically, not just chemically.
• HeatShield Crown Coat on flat crowns in Belmont Shore bungalows pools water at the edges and delaminates after two to three winters of salt-air exposure. We grind back to concrete, slope the crown for drainage, then reapply Crown Coat with a reinforced mesh embed per OEM spec.
• HeatShield UL Listed relining in pre-1940s craftsman homes near Bixby Knolls can show spalling at the thimble penetration where the original masonry has shifted in Long Beach’s expansive clay soil. We document the spall depth with camera footage, then sleeve the thimble with a stainless transition or recommend a partial rebuild if the wythe is compromised.

Our HeatShield Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask your chimney’s age, fuel type, and any symptoms you’ve noticed. We assign a named technician and text you when they’re en route.
2. 2
   Level 2 camera inspection. We run a chimney camera from firebox to cap, recording every joint, liner surface, and smoke chamber wall. You watch the feed in real time if you’re home.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. Before any tool touches your chimney, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Sweep and service. We remove Class I through III creosote with rotary whips and hand tools matched to your liner material. For HeatShield foam liners, we use softer poly bristles that won’t abrade the cerfractory surface.
5. 5
   Post-service testing and documentation. We run a final camera pass, perform a smoke test or draft reading, and deliver your photo record and completion report. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires this archive; we’ve done it on every job since 2009.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything in our scope fails, we make it right. The promise is stamped on every job.
