How HeatShield Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

HeatShield makes a solid product line, but every liner system has weak points that show up under specific conditions. Here’s what we actually see on Alpharetta roofs:

• CeCure sleeve joint separation. The CeCure system uses interlocking sleeve sections, and in Alpharetta’s wet winters plus hot summers, thermal expansion works the joints loose over time. The symptom is usually a faint smokey smell in the attic, not the living room. Fix: joint reseating and a sealant pass, confirmed by camera before we come down.
• TherCeramic coating delamination. When the original application was too thin, typically on flues with irregular clay tile surfaces, the coating can start peeling within three to five years. You won’t see it from the firebox. The camera will. Fix: spot recoating if the damage is localized, full reline only when the substrate is compromised.
• JointFlash corrosion at the flue offset. Alpharetta homes with two-story offsets put real stress on the JointFlash connector. Rust starts where the flue changes angle, and by the time it’s visible, moisture is already behind the liner. Fix: connector replacement with OEM-spec parts, not generic couplers.
• Improper under-flue insulation. We see this on older HeatShield installs where the installer skipped insulation to save time. The trapped heat cycles cause condensation, and condensation eats mortar. The symptom is white efflorescence on the exterior chimney brick. Fix: we document it, then re-insulate during the next scheduled repair window.
• PourThane crown cracking. The PourThane crown product is durable, but when a chimney cap is missing or poorly fitted, water pools against the pour joint and freezes in January. Alpharetta gets enough hard freezes to make this a real issue. Fix: cap replacement plus crown refinish, quoted separately so you see both line items.

Our HeatShield Chimney Inspection Process

We run every HeatShield inspection the same way, start to finish, so there are no surprises at the invoice:

1. 1
   Call and booking. You reach a live person at (762) 600-1468. We set a two-hour arrival window and stick to it.
2. 2
   Outside assessment. The technician checks the crown, cap, flashing, and brick condition before touching the flue.
3. 3
   Camera inspection. We run a push camera through the full flue length, recording the entire pass. You see the footage with us, not after we leave.
4. 4
   Written findings and quote. Every issue gets a written description, a printed screenshot, and a line-item price. You approve the number before any repair starts.
5. 5
   Repair work, if needed. We use OEM or quality aftermarket parts that match the existing system. No adapting a DuraFlex part onto a HeatShield liner just because it’s what’s on the shelf.
6. 6
   Post-repair verification and guarantee. We re-camera the flue, confirm the fix, and you leave with a written one-year guarantee on the repair work.

What HeatShield Chimney Inspection Costs in Alpharetta

Here are real numbers for the Alpharetta market, not national averages:

• Level 1 visual inspection: $149 – $189, included free with a standard sweep.
• Level 2 camera inspection: $189 – $289, includes full video recording and written report.
• HeatShield patch or spot repair: $350 – $800, depending on damage location and access.
• CeCure section replacement: $1,200 – $2,400, including materials and labor.
• Full HeatShield reline: $3,500 – $7,000, depending on flue length and existing liner condition.

Price moves on two things: how much camera time the flue needs and what we find when the camera is in there. You’ll never get a verbal range that turns into a different invoice. Call (762) 600-1468 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the number in writing before any work is scheduled.
