HeatShield® Chimney Liner Repair & Flue
Resurfacing

A Safe, Affordable Solution for Cracked, Damaged, or Deteriorating Chimney Liners in Wichita, KS

If your chimney has cracked flue tiles, gaps, missing mortar joints, or surface damage, your fireplace may not be safe to use. HeatShield® is one of the best and most affordable ways to restore a damaged chimney liner—without the cost of a full chimney rebuild or stainless-steel relining.

Flue Bird Chimney provides professional HeatShield® chimney resurfacing for homeowners across Wichita, Andover, Derby, Maize, Goddard, Augusta, El Dorado, and all surrounding communities. If your chimney liner needs repair, HeatShield® may be the perfect solution.

What Is HeatShield®?

HeatShield® is a specialized, UL-listed, ceramic-based resurfacing and joint repair system used to restore the interior of damaged masonry flues.

HeatShield® repairs:

✅  Cracked flue tiles

✅  Missing or eroded mortar joints

✅  Gaps between flue tiles

✅  Surface deterioration or spalling

✅  Unsafe or aging chimney liners

It seals and strengthens your flue, making it safer and more efficient—without replacing the entire liner.

HeatShield® is extremely popular in older Wichita homes and neighborhoods like College Hill, Riverside, Delano, Augusta, and older areas of Derby, where masonry flues have endured decades of Kansas weather and heating cycles.

When Do You Need HeatShield®?

Signs your chimney liner may need repair:

• Cracked or broken clay flue tiles

• Missing mortar between tiles

• Smoke backing into your home

• Poor draft or uneven burn

• Strong creosote odor

• Crumbling or deteriorating liner

• Evidence of a previous chimney fire

• A Level 2 inspection showing defects

If your Level 2 inspection with video revealed liner damage, HeatShield® is often the recommended fix.
