How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

HeatShield manufactures refractory repair products and stainless steel liners, not complete chimney systems, so their materials integrate into masonry structures that take the real beating from Littleton’s freeze-thaw cycles and Front Range wind exposure. Here are the failure patterns we see on HeatShield jobs in the field:

• Cerfractory Flue Sealant shrinkage in HeatShield UL 1777 liners. The sealant layer between the stainless steel liner and clay flue can pull away after repeated thermal cycling, creating a gap that lets flue gases contact the original terracotta. We find this most often in Littleton homes built in the 1980s and 1990s where the original clay liner was already compromised. Our fix: remove the failed sealant, recondition the clay surface, and reapply Cerfractory to factory spec - or recommend a full liner replacement if the clay is too far gone.
• JointShield mortar joint repair breakdown at the smoke chamber. HeatShield’s JointShield product is designed to resurface eroded mortar joints between flue tiles, but in older Littleton chimneys - especially in Columbine Knolls and surrounding neighborhoods with heavy winter fireplace use - the underlying clay tiles themselves may be spalling behind the repair. We camera-scan to verify tile integrity before applying JointShield; if the tile is crumbling, resurfacing would be a temporary cover-up, not a fix.
• ChamberCrete parging failure due to moisture intrusion from a cracked crown. HeatShield’s smoke chamber parging material performs well when dry, but a cracked or improperly sloped chimney crown lets water sit against it. Littleton’s spring freeze-thaw cycles accelerate the damage. We repair the crown first - often with a Gelco or Olympia Chimney cap and crown system - then re-apply ChamberCrete only after verifying the water source is eliminated.
• HeatShield liner collar corrosion at the thimble connection. The collar where the liner meets the appliance thimble can rust through if condensation pools, a problem we see in high-efficiency furnace installations in Littleton’s newer construction. We source replacement collars through our Haven buying network, matching either OEM HeatShield spec or DuraFlex equivalent depending on availability and your system’s age.
• Waterproofing breakdown on HeatShield-treated masonry. HeatShield’s chimney waterproofing agent is breathable silane/siloxane, but application on already-saturated brick - common after a wet Colorado spring - traps moisture inside. We test masonry moisture content with a probe before reapplication, and we won’t sell you a waterproofing job the wall isn’t ready to receive.

Our HeatShield Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We book your inspection, typically within a week in Littleton.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection. Corrine Halstead or a uniformed, background-checked technician runs the camera down the flue, records the footage, and notes HeatShield product locations and condition. The camera doesn’t have an opinion - it just shows you what’s there.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. Before any repair begins, you receive a written price, written scope, and written warranty. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: have it in writing. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Parts decision. We source HeatShield OEM materials when available and appropriate; when a HeatShield part is back-ordered or discontinued, we specify a DuraFlex or Gelco equivalent and explain the trade-off in writing before you decide.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We complete the repair - repointing, spalling brick repair, waterproofing, flashing work, or rebuild - then run a post-repair camera scan and draft test to verify performance.
6. 6
   Documentation and guarantee. You receive the photo record, written warranty, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
