How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield Cerfractory Foam liners in pre-2018 installations often show radial cracking where the foam layer separates from the substrate after repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Phoenixville’s position in the Schuylkill River valley traps cold, damp air against chimney exteriors longer than surrounding hill towns, accelerating this delamination. We remove the failed foam section, assess the underlying clay tile or masonry, and either reapply with current Cerfractory formulation or recommend a stainless steel replacement if the substrate is compromised.
• HeatShield UL-listed stainless steel flex liners (HSF series) can develop crevice corrosion at the lower termination collar where condensate pools during shoulder-season burns. Homeowners near the French Creek tributary areas report this more frequently due to higher ambient humidity. We cut back to sound metal, source replacement collars through Haven’s buying network from HeatShield or Olympia Chimney inventory, and reset with a proper condensate drain per manufacturer guidance.
• HeatShield ProLiner rigid systems in oil-to-gas conversions sometimes suffer mortar joint failure in the surround course where the original masonry was never designed for the lower flue gas temperatures. The ProLiner’s tight clearance spec leaves no room for error. We document the gap with camera footage, then either rebuild the surround with proper clearance or transition to a flexible liner if the chimney geometry allows.
• HeatShield smoke chamber parging (SCC series) flakes when applied over oil-soaked or previously deteriorated brick. In Phoenixville’s older housing stock near Main Street and the historic district, we’ve found original smoke chambers with three or more layers of incompatible materials. We mechanically remove all loose material, test for residual oil saturation, and re-parge only when the substrate will accept it - otherwise we recommend a stainless insert with proper insulation.
• HeatShield factory-built chimney chase covers in the CF series corrode at the drip edge where galvanized steel meets aluminum flashing. The dissimilar metals set up a galvanic reaction that outpaces the warranty period. We replace with copper or stainless flashing from Famco or Copperfield stock, matched to the existing chase dimensions, and seal with high-temp silicone rated for the temperature class of the installation.

Our HeatShield Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Camera-scan inspection (NFPA 211 Level 2). Corrine Halstead or a uniformed technician runs a camera the full length of the flue, records the footage, and notes liner condition, joint integrity, and any obstruction. The camera doesn’t negotiate - what’s on screen is what we quote.
2. 2
   Written scope and price delivered on-site. Before any tool touches your chimney, you receive a written price, written scope, and written warranty under Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions, no “let me check with the office.”
3. 3
   Parts sourcing decision. We verify whether your HeatShield component is available OEM or if a quality aftermarket equivalent from DuraFlex, Gelco, or Olympia Chimney meets or exceeds the spec. Haven’s buying network keeps these prices honest; we show you the part numbers.
4. 4
   Repair or rebuild execution. Liner replacements are pulled and connected same-day when possible. Partial rebuilds require staged curing; we protect the work site and return for inspection at each stage. Background-checked techs in uniform, license number visible, text notification when en route.
5. 5
   Post-work camera verification and documentation. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a photo record on every job. We run the camera again, capture the completed work, and add it to your documented record - continuous practice since 2009, now standard in the industry because we proved it first.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise activation. Your warranty period begins with signatures on the completion documentation. If it’s not done right, we make it right. The promise is stamped on every job.
