How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield Cerfractory Foam liner resurfacing delaminates from the flue wall. We see this most on HeatShield UL 1777 relining jobs in Orland Park homes where the original application was thinned to cover more square footage. The foam separates in the smoke chamber first, where temperatures spike highest. Our fix: camera-scan to map the delamination, mechanical removal of the failed section, and reapplication to HeatShield’s specified 1/2-inch thickness, with a post-cure camera verification.
• HeatShield Joint Repair system cracks at mortar joints between flue tiles. Common in Orland Park’s 1960s-1980s ranch homes with original clay flue liners that have shifted with freeze-thaw cycles. The Joint Repair epoxy can’t bridge a gap wider than 1/4 inch. We find the real gap width with a borescope, then either pack the joint properly or recommend a full resurfacing if the liner has moved beyond spec.
• HeatShield gas fireplace inserts develop ignition module failures in the GC8 and GC10 series. The module sits directly above the burner pan and collects condensate during Orland Park’s shoulder seasons when the unit cycles on and off frequently. We replace with OEM SIT valves or compatible Robertshaw modules, test flame rectification signal, and document the milliamp reading in your photo record.
• HeatShield wood-burning fireboxes show spalling brick and degraded refractory panels in the H2100 and H2300 series. These units were shipped with lower-grade refractory in the 2012-2016 production run. The panels erode faster than the warranty period when burned above the EPA low-smolder threshold. We source upgraded 1.25-inch refractory through our Haven buying network and install with proper expansion gaps, or convert to a gas insert if the firebox throat is too damaged.
• HeatShield chimney-top dampers seize in the open position after multiple Orland Park winters. The cast-aluminum frame corrodes where the Orland Park area’s road salt aerosol settles on the cap. We disassemble, media-blast the frame, lubricate with high-temp graphite, and replace the stainless cable if frayed. If the frame is pitted through, we source a Gelco or Olympia Chimney replacement damper that fits the HeatShield flue profile.

Our HeatShield Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask the model number if you have it, the fuel type, and what’s happening. We give you a 2-hour arrival window and text when your tech is en route.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection. We run a borescope the full flue length, photograph the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, and liner. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job. You see the footage before we quote.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. We deliver a single-page document: what we found, what it costs, what parts we’ll use (OEM HeatShield or equivalent from DuraFlex, Gelco, or Olympia Chimney), and what the warranty covers. No work starts until you sign.
4. 4
   Repair or service. Background-checked, uniformed techs perform the work. For liner jobs, we cure to HeatShield’s temperature protocol and verify thickness with a pin gauge. For gas work, we leak-test and combustion-analyze.
5. 5
   Documentation and test. Final camera run, written completion report with photos, and your copy of the warranty. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped and dated.
6. 6
   Archive. Your record joins the 38,000-plus documented jobs since 2009. If you sell the home, the inspection transfers to the new owner.

Why Orland Park Homeowners Call Emberly Chimney Cleaners Orland Park for HeatShield Work

We’re an independent HeatShield service provider, not a dealer, which means we fix what needs fixing and replace only what needs replacing. Corrine Halstead grew up in Queens, learned this trade at Queensborough Community College, and has run inspections across Orland Park for years. She still writes reports by hand when the detail matters.

Our techs carry HeatShield parts plus DuraFlex, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney equivalents through the Haven buying network, so you’re not waiting on a single supplier. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job. If we installed it and it’s not right, we make it right. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard says the price is in writing before work starts. Clause 4 says the photo record is standard, not extra. We’ve done both since 2009.
