Call (857) 364-8219

This page is for Wakefield homeowners who already have HeatShield components installed and need them repaired correctly the first time. You might live in one of the older colonials near Main Street, a mid-century near Lake Quannapowitt, or anywhere in between where freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture do real damage. If your HeatShield liner, crown, or flashing is showing wear, call (857) 364-8219. A live person answers 24 hours a day.

How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield Cerfractory Foam liner resurfacing cracks or delaminates. In Wakefield, we see this most often in flues that were resurfaced 8-12 years ago and have since endured repeated freeze-thaw cycling. The foam layer separates from the substrate, creating gaps that let combustion gases reach the surrounding masonry. We grind back to sound substrate, reapply with the proper bonding agent specified for your flue diameter, and cure it under controlled conditions.
• HeatShield UL Listed relining systems develop joint separation in offset flues. Older Wakefield homes with chimney offsets, especially the 1920s-era construction near the lake, put unusual lateral stress on rigid liner sections. The factory joints can work loose over time. We inspect with a Level-2 camera, identify the exact offset location, and install a custom-fabricated section with proper support brackets rather than forcing an ill-fitting standard piece.
• HeatShield crown sealant fails at the flue tile interface. This is the most common call we get. The sealant shrinks or UV-degrades, creating a channel that funnels water straight into the flue. We remove all failed material, inspect the underlying crown for structural soundness, and reseal with HeatShield-compatible compound or recommend a full crown rebuild if the substrate is too far gone.
• HeatShield stainless steel liner terminals corrode at the weld seam. Coastal air in Wakefield accelerates this. The 304-grade terminals that ship standard with some HeatShield kits don’t hold up as well here as 316L or higher. We stock both grades and will show you the difference on camera before deciding. If the flue is otherwise sound, a terminal swap is far cheaper than full relining.
• HeatShield smoke chamber parging flakes off in pyramidal chambers. The original parging was likely applied too thin in the acute angles. We remove loose material, apply a bonding wash, and parge with the proper thickness for your chamber geometry, smoothing the transition to improve draft performance.

Our HeatShield Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks the right questions about your HeatShield installation age and symptoms, and books a time. We don’t do callbacks or app queues.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician runs a camera the full length of your flue, photographs every defect, and explains what you’re seeing in plain English. You get the photos.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your repair needs replacement components, we show you OEM and quality aftermarket options, explain the warranty implications of each, and let you decide. No default to the most expensive choice.
4. 4
   Upfront pricing and authorization. We give you one number. That’s the number on the invoice. No surprises.
5. 5
   The repair. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most HeatShield repairs in a single visit. We test draft and flow before we pack up.
6. 6
   Documentation and guarantee. You get a written report with photos, our plain-English verdict, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No arguing.
