How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield Cerfractory Foam liner resurfacing delaminating in sections. We see this most on installations from 2012-2018 in Puyallup’s South Hill corridor, where older wood inserts burn cooler and wetter loads. The foam separates from the clay flue wall, creating a gap that traps moisture and accelerates corrosion. We run the camera to map the delamination, remove loose material with rotary tools, and reapply Cerfractory Foam to manufacturer thickness, then video-verify the bond before we leave.
• HeatShield Joint Repair shrinking at mortar joints in high-heat gas applications. The joint compound can pull back from liner segments after repeated thermal cycling above 1,800°F, common with oversized gas logs in small Rumford-style fireplaces. We find the gaps with a down-flue camera sweep, grind to sound substrate, and repack with fresh HeatShield joint material or switch to a Gelco rigid liner if the joint pattern is too extensive for spot repair.
• HeatShield Smoke Chamber Spray slumping in chambers steeper than 45 degrees. The sprayable refractory doesn’t always hold vertical build without sagging during cure, especially in Puyallup’s damp winter months when ambient humidity slows set times. We install temporary forms, use a slower-cure formulation from our Olympia Chimney supply line, and keep the damper open for forced ventilation per the technical bulletin.
• HeatShield Crown Repair cracking at feathered edges within 18 months. The trowel-grade crown mix shrinks when applied too thin over sound concrete; we find this where previous owners or handymen skimmed rather than rebuilt. We cut back to 3/4-inch minimum thickness, add a DuraFlex expansion joint at the flue interface, and stamp the 365-Day Done Right Promise on the work order.
• HeatShield flue gases leaking at the thimble connection in exterior chase installations. Puyallup’s wind-driven rain against east-facing chases saturates the thimble surround, and the original HeatShield application often misses this transition. We pull the insert, camera the thimble from both sides, and reseal with Famco high-temp silicone plus a proper storm collar, documented in your photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4.

Our HeatShield Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks Corrine’s calendar for Puyallup availability, and books a two-hour window. You’ll get a text when your technician is en route.
2. 2
   Camera goes in first. We perform an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with a down-flue camera scan before any brush touches the system. Corrine’s rule: “Camera goes in first. Price gets written down second. Work starts third.”
3. 3
   Written price, scope, and warranty. We show you the footage, name what we found in plain terms, and deliver a written price before any work begins. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing.
4. 4
   Sweep and repair with correct materials. We use HeatShield OEM products when the repair is warranty-critical, or quality aftermarket from our Haven buying network when function is identical and the price stays honest. DuraFlex and Gelco components back up HeatShield lines when cross-compatibility serves your system better.
5. 5
   Post-work camera verification and documentation. We re-scan the flue, capture final photos, and upload your documented record. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires this archive on every job.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise stamped and delivered. If it’s not done right, we make it right. The warranty language is on your invoice, not hidden in fine print.
