How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield Cerfractory Foam liner systems with factory-installed caps: The original cap on early Cerfractory Foam jobs (roughly 2010-2016) uses a lighter-gauge mesh that fatigues at the weld points after repeated freeze-thaw cycles. In Littleton, where overnight temperature swings of 40-plus degrees are common from October through April, we’ve pulled caps off Columbine Knolls homes with mesh panels that separated entirely from the frame. We replace with a heavier-gauge aftermarket cap or OEM equivalent, matched to the flue diameter the foam was poured around.
• HeatShield Sleeve Relining caps with corroded base rings: The stainless base ring on Sleeve Relining caps can pit where snowmelt pools and refreezes against the chimney shoulder. The camera doesn’t have an opinion - it just shows you what’s there - and what we typically find is rust bleeding down the flue tile below the cap, staining the new liner. We remove the cap, assess the crown slope for drainage, and either reseat the original on a rebuilt crown or source a replacement with a drip-edge overhang that sheds water clear of the masonry.
• Crown coating delamination over HeatShield poured liners: HeatShield’s poured liner creates a smooth, cylindrical flue surface, but the crown above it is still standard mortar. When that crown cracks, water tracks down the gap between liner and tile, which the homeowner can’t see until the camera goes down. We strip failed crown material, apply a cast-in-place or formed crown with proper slope (minimum 3/4 inch per foot), and seal the liner-to-crown joint with a high-temp silicone rated to 600°F.
• Multi-flue HeatShield installations with undersized community caps: Some Littleton homes from the 1970s and 1980s got multi-flue HeatShield liners crammed under a single cap sized for one flue. The result is chronic drafting problems and accelerated creosote buildup on the cooler outer flue. We measure each flue’s net free area against the appliance BTU load, then fabricate or order a custom multi-flue cap with individual hoods and proper clearance.
• HeatShield cap collars working loose from liner vibration: Gas inserts and high-efficiency stoves cycle on and off frequently, and the expansion collar where the cap meets a HeatShield liner can walk itself loose over seasons. We’ve found collars dropped two inches down the flue in Ken Caryl Ranch homes, leaving an open rain path. We reseat with a mechanical-lock collar and add a storm collar above, not just sealant, so the joint stays put through thermal cycling.

Our HeatShield Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers 24/7. We ask for your HeatShield installation date if you know it, the appliance type, and what you’re seeing (stains, drafts, animal intrusion). We book a Level 2 inspection with camera scan.
2. 2
   Inspection and documentation. Your technician runs a camera the full length of the HeatShield liner, photographs the cap, crown, and liner top joint, and records any gaps, corrosion, or spalling. You see the footage on site.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. Before any tool touches your chimney, you get a written price, a written scope of work, and a written warranty. This is Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing. No surprises, no “while we were up there” add-ons.
4. 4
   Parts decision. We stock common HeatShield-compatible caps and crown materials through our Haven buying network. If your job needs an OEM-specific part we don’t carry, we source it from HeatShield’s supply chain or specify a quality aftermarket equivalent and explain the trade-off in writing.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We complete the cap or crown work, then run a final camera pass to confirm liner integrity, draft test the system, and photo-document the finished job.
6. 6
   Cleanup and record. You receive a photo record, the signed warranty, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this documentation on every job, and we’ve done it that way since 2009.

Why Littleton Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Littleton for HeatShield Work

We’ve cleaned and inspected chimneys throughout Littleton since 2009, including older homes where masonry fireplaces still get heavy use through the long Front Range winters. Corrine Halstead learned flue sizing and draft diagnostics at Apex Technical School in Long Island City, and her crew has put that classroom work to use on real HeatShield jobs here for well over a decade. When a HeatShield system needs cap or crown work, we don’t guess at the liner condition - we camera-scan every time, as Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and named before they arrive, with license information on every page. If we don’t have your HeatShield part in stock, we source through our network including DuraFlex, Gelco, and other suppliers - never leaving you waiting on a single vendor. And if it’s not done right, we make it right: that’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, stamped on every job.
