How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield Cerfractory Foam liner systems with corroded caps: The stainless cap on a Cerfractory installation in Allentown’s freeze-thaw climate often outlasts the attachment hardware but not the crown beneath it. We see the 304-grade mesh screen rust at the corners where road salt spray collects, especially on homes near Hamilton Boulevard. We replace with marine-grade hardware and reseal the crown interface so water can’t migrate behind the foam.
• HeatShield UL-listed relining jobs with poured crown failures: The poured refractory crown that seals a UL-listed HeatShield liner top can spider-crack after five to seven Pennsylvania winters. In the West End, we’ve found this on 1980s colonials where the original crown was too thin at the edges. We grind back to sound concrete, apply a HeatShield-compatible crown coat, and reset the cap with proper clearance to the flue tile.
• HeatShield ProLiner multi-flue caps with improper slope: The ProLiner cap system sheds water well when new, but if the installing crew set the cap flat instead of pitched toward the drip edge, you’ll get pooling. We document the pitch with a level during inspection, then shim or replace the mounting brackets to restore proper drainage. No guesswork - you see the before and after in the photos.
• HeatShield smooth-wall liner terminations with draft-induced cap separation: Smooth-wall liners run hotter than corrugated alternatives, and that thermal cycling works the cap fasteners loose over seasons. We’ve found this on taller Allentown chimneys, particularly in the historic district where flues run 25 feet or more. We upgrade to expansion-rated fasteners and add a locking washer setup that stays put.
• HeatShield cast-in-place crown resurfacing with incompatible top coats: Some crews in the area have applied standard acrylic crown sealers over HeatShield’s cast-in-place refractory surface. The products aren’t compatible - the sealer flakes, traps moisture, and accelerates freeze damage. We remove the bad coat, verify the underlying cast-in-place is sound, and apply only HeatShield-tested or equivalent refractory-grade finishes.

Our HeatShield Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule: A live person answers at (610) 632-1394, asks about your HeatShield system age and symptoms, and books a Level-2 camera inspection. We don’t guess over the phone.
2. 2
   Inspection with documentation: Our tech arrives in uniform, runs a camera from firebox to cap, and photographs the crown condition, cap attachment points, and any liner termination. You see what we see on the tablet before we quote.
3. 3
   Parts decision: If your HeatShield cap is salvageable, we say so. If it needs replacement, we source OEM HeatShield hardware or match with quality aftermarket from Gelco or Famco when the OEM lead time doesn’t make sense. You choose.
4. 4
   The repair: We complete cap replacement, crown repair, or crown coating in one visit for standard jobs. Crown rebuilds that need cure time get scheduled with weather in mind - no shortcuts on set-up.
5. 5
   Post-repair verification: We run the camera again, verify draft and clearance, and show you the final photos. The chimney doesn’t care what it looks like from the street. We check what’s inside.
6. 6
   Written guarantee: You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we leave. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to dig up, no arguing.
