How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Cerfractory Flue Liner (CFL) series: delamination in hard-water zones. The CFL’s ceramic-bonded layer separates from the substrate when repeated thermal cycling meets mineral-heavy water intrusion, common in Plano’s limestone-heavy soil and sprinkler-overspray patterns. We strip to sound substrate, apply HeatShield-compatible resurfacing compound, and verify adhesion with a pull test before the liner returns to service.
• Joint Repair System: mortar joint gaps from clay flue expansion. HeatShield’s joint repair fills gaps between flue tiles, but North Texas clay soils shift seasonally, and the flue system moves with the house. Gaps reopen if the original expansion calculation missed the local soil plasticity index. We re-gap with flexible refractory compound rated for 2,000°F, then camera-verify the seal across three heating cycles.
• CrownCoat flexible crown repair: UV degradation on south-facing exposures. CrownCoat’s elastomeric surface breaks down faster on Plano chimneys with southern exposure, where summer attic temperatures exceed 140°F and UV index peaks above 11. We remove failed CrownCoat, assess the concrete crown beneath for spalling, and reapply with a compatible flexible sealant or recommend full crown rebuild if the substrate is compromised.
• Smoke Chamber Repair (SCR): parging loss in pre-1980s fireboxes. Older Plano homes near Downtown Plano and Old Town built with corbeled brick smoke chambers often received HeatShield SCR parging to smooth the passage. The parging flakes when the underlying brick was oil-soaked from decades of Class III creosote, a condition we identify with the camera before quoting. We soda-blast the chamber, apply bonding agent, and re-parge to NFPA 211 dimensions.
• Factory-built chimney chase covers: galvanic corrosion at fastener points. HeatShield chase covers installed on manufactured chimneys develop pinholes where dissimilar metals contact, accelerated by Plano’s occasional hail and the chloride in de-icing runoff from northern roofs. We source replacement covers through Haven’s buying network, match the metal grade to the existing flue collar, and seal with butyl tape, not silicone, which outlasts two-to-one in our local climate data.

Our HeatShield Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks Corrine’s crew availability, and books a Level 2 inspection slot. You’ll get a text when your tech is en route.
2. 2
   Camera-scan diagnosis. We run the chimney camera from firebox to cap, documenting liner condition, joint gaps, crown integrity, and smoke chamber surface. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
3. 3
   Written price, written scope. Before any repair begins, you receive a fixed price, a detailed scope of work, and the warranty terms. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, H.A.V.E.N.: Have it in writing.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. For HeatShield products still in production, we source through Haven’s network from HeatShield, DuraFlex, Gelco, or compatible refractory suppliers. We explain the trade-off and let you choose.
5. 5
   Repair and test. The work is performed, then smoke-tested or pressure-tested per the component. We run the camera again to verify.
6. 6
   Photo record and cleanup. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a documented photo record on every job. You get the images and the written warranty before we leave. The 365-Day Done Right Promise begins.
