This page is for Puyallup homeowners who already have a HeatShield liner, coating, or component in their chimney and need repair work that respects the original product. Maybe your sweep flagged a liner breach, or you’re seeing staining below the crown after the wet winters we get here. We’re an independent HeatShield service provider - not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer - and we stock OEM and quality aftermarket parts for every HeatShield series we encounter in Pierce County.

How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Cerfractory Foam liner resurfacing cracks in HeatShield’s UL-Listed system. The foam layer cures to a ceramic-like finish, but thermal cycling in Puyallup’s wet climate can cause hairline separation at the flue collar, especially where the original application missed the 1/4-inch minimum thickness. We grind back to sound substrate, re-apply Cerfractory Foam to spec, and verify with a pull-through camera scan before signing off.
• HeatShield Joint Repair (HJ) system pulling away at mortar joints in pre-2015 installations. The older HJ compound didn’t bond as aggressively to glazed terracotta flue tile. In South Hill homes with heavy burn schedules, we’ve found the joint fill receding by 1/8 inch or more, creating a ledge that catches creosote. We remove the degraded material, re-prep the joint with HeatShield’s current bonding agent, and re-pack with OEM compound.
• HeatShield Thermocrete spalling in exterior chimney stacks exposed to Puyallup’s freeze-thaw. Thermocrete is rated for temperature, not necessarily for the 40-degree swings we see in January when rain follows a hard freeze. Surface flaking exposes the liner beneath. We assess whether the remaining thickness warrants spot repair or full resurfacing, and we quote both paths in writing.
• Smoke chamber parging failure in HeatShield SC (Smoke Chamber) applications. The SC mix is designed to smooth the corbelled brick above the firebox, but improper original troweling leaves air pockets that outgas and weaken the bond. Our camera goes in first. Price gets written down second. Work starts third. We re-parge only after documenting the void depth and confirming the chamber shape meets NFPA 211 clearances.
• Crown wash separation at HeatShield crown coatings applied over active leaks. A HeatShield crown coating buys time, but it won’t bridge a crown that’s already cracked through. We’ve seen this in Puyallup’s Edgewood and Summit areas where mature trees drip moisture onto the crown year-round. We repair the crown substrate first - epoxy injection for structural cracks, then re-coat with compatible material.

Our HeatShield Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We book a Level 2 inspection slot - camera down the flue, documented photo record included, no exceptions.
2. 2
   Camera-scan diagnosis. Corrine Halstead or a uniformed, background-checked tech runs the camera before touching a brush. We note the HeatShield series, condition, and any breach or degradation in plain terms on the written report.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We stock HeatShield OEM Cerfractory Foam, HJ compound, and Thermocrete through Haven’s buying network. If a compatible aftermarket part from DuraFlex or Gelco meets spec at lower cost, we present both options with the trade-offs - warranty implications, longevity, price.
4. 4
   Written price, written scope, written warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price is fixed before work begins. No surprises, no “while we were in there” add-ons.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We execute to HeatShield’s installation parameters where applicable, then re-camera to verify the fix. The photo record goes to you and our archive.
6. 6
   Cleanup and documentation. You receive the written warranty, the photo record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise - if it’s not done right, we make it right.
