🔧 Why Your Chimney May Need a Flue Resurfacing Solution

Many chimneys in Minnesota and Wisconsin suffer from cracked flue tiles, deteriorated joints, or unsafe liner conditions. At Chimney Crickets, we offer HeatShield as a proven flue resurfacing solution that seals gaps, smooths damaged tile interiors, and protects your home from fire and carbon monoxide hazards.

Traditional liner replacement can be expensive. HeatShield, on the other hand, restores your existing clay tile liner using a durable ceramic sealant—saving you time and money while still meeting safety standards.

🔍 Signs Your Chimney Flue Is Damaged

Do you notice any of these warning signs?

• 🧱 Cracked or missing flue tiles

• 🌫️ Smoke escaping into the room

• ⚠️ Poor draft or strong fireplace odor

• 🧹 Bits of tile or mortar in your firebox

• 🚨 Failed chimney inspection

These often point to a failing liner—and a resurfacing solution may be the best fix.

🛠️ How Our HeatShield Resurfacing Works

Our licensed techs inspect your chimney using a camera scope. Then, based on your flue’s condition, we use one of three repair techniques:

1. Joint Repair: Seals cracks and mortar gaps.
2. Resurfacing: Applies a full ceramic coating for durability.
3. CeCure Sleeve Installation: A full liner alternative with added reinforcement.

This technology creates a smooth, airtight surface that improves airflow, energy efficiency, and safety.
