This page is for Southampton homeowners who already have HeatShield components on their chimney and need honest answers about what is failing, what it will cost, and who can fix it without the runaround. Call (516) 619-2915 any time, day or night. A live person answers.

How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield Cerfractory Foam liner systems with factory-installed caps: The cap collar can separate from the foam body where Southampton’s salt air meets freeze-thaw cycling. We see this most on homes within a mile of the bay. We remove the failed collar, reseat with HeatShield-compatible refractory sealant, and install a Gelco or Famco cap with an independent mounting bracket so the repair outlasts the original design.
• HeatShield Pro-Form multi-flue caps on pre-fab chimneys: The stamped steel base pan rusts through at the weld seams after 7-10 years, sooner if pine needles collect in the valleys. Water drips straight onto the crown below, accelerating concrete spalling. We replace with a Copperfield stainless multi-flue cap, sealed at the perimeter, and inspect the crown for hidden saturation with our camera.
• HeatShield crown coatings over original poured crowns: The coating delaminates when applied over a crown that was not properly profiled for drainage. Southampton’s driving northeast rains exploit any low spot. We grind the crown to a proper slope, apply a bonding primer, then recoat with HeatShield Cerfractory Foam or switch to a poured concrete rebuild if the substrate is too far gone.
• HeatShield UL-listed chase covers on factory-built chimneys: The galvanized edge flashing corrodes where it meets the siding, especially on cedar-shingled homes common north of Montauk Highway. Water tracks behind the siding and rots the chase framing. We fabricate custom Copperfield aluminum or stainless chase covers with integrated drip edges, counter-flashed correctly.
• HeatShield draft-inducing caps on vented fireplaces: The bimetallic strip that opens the secondary air intake seizes after seasons of disuse, common in Southampton’s seasonal homes. The fireplace smokes on startup or fails to draw. We free the mechanism, replace the strip if cracked, and verify draft performance with a smoke pencil before we leave.

Our HeatShield Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We book a window that works for you. No deposit required.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician documents the cap, crown, and flue interior with photos you can see on the spot. We explain what is wrong in plain English, no jargon.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If HeatShield OEM is available and makes sense for your system, we order it. If lead time is long or the design has a known flaw, we recommend a quality aftermarket alternative from DuraFlex, Gelco, or Famco and tell you exactly why.
4. 4
   Repair or replacement. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most jobs in one visit. We protect your roof and landscaping. The price we quoted is the price on the invoice.
5. 5
   Post-job test and documentation. We run a final camera pass, verify cap clearance and draft, and leave you with photos and a written report. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies automatically, in writing, no paperwork to file.
6. 6
   Cleanup and close. We haul away old material. You get a clean flue and a cap that sheds water the way it should. A clean flue does the talking - you just need a warm fire to hear it.

We have cleaned and inspected chimneys throughout Southampton Village, including plenty of the older shingled colonials along Jobs Lane, long enough to know which problems show up after a hard winter and which ones were overdue before the first frost.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they carry DuraFlex, Gelco, and Famco parts so you are not held hostage by a single brand’s supply chain. Done right, and we stand behind it.
