🔥 Flue Resurfacing With HeatShield®
Clay tile flues degrade over time, developing cracks, gaps, or mortar erosion. These issues create dangerous conditions and violate safety codes.
Our HeatShield® resurfacing system seals the flue from top to bottom, restoring structural soundness and venting performance—without the need to tear down or fully reline.
- ✅ Seals flue gaps, cracks & damaged mortar joints
- ✅ Smooths interior surfaces to improve draft
- ✅ Resists heat, acid, moisture & flue gas erosion
- ✅ UL-listed and NFPA 211-compliant
📌 Includes full video scan

the resurfacing process.
🧱 Smoke Chamber Parging (HeatShield® Chamber Formula 500)
The smoke chamber is one of the most neglected, yet most important, areas of your fireplace system. Unparged or corbelled chambers cause poor draft and allow dangerous heat transfer to combustible framing.
We hand-apply HeatShield® Chamber Formula 500—a high-temperature, insulating mortar—to smooth and seal the chamber walls for improved safety and performance.
Benefits of Chamber Parging:
- ✔️ Removes jagged, exposed brick or corbelling
- ✔️ Eliminates turbulence and backdrafting
- ✔️ Blocks heat transfer to framing
- ✔️ Required by modern building & fire safety codes
📞 Don’t overlook your smoke chamber—ask us to inspect and parge during your chimney service!
🔧 Damper System Replacement & Upgrades
If your throat damper is rusted, warped, or no longer sealing properly, we offer multiple damper solutions tailored to your needs:
✅ Top-Sealing Dampers
- Installs at the flue top (replaces old throat-style dampers)
- Seals tighter to block moisture, air loss, and pests
- Energy-efficient & easy to use
- Doubles as a rain cap
✅ Lock-Top, Energy-Top & Other Premium Systems
- Perfect for older chimneys or homes losing conditioned air
- Helps reduce heating/cooling bills year-round
📌 Replacing your damper can stop drafts, save energy, and extend your chimney’s lifespan.
