If you’re in Beechmont, Wykagyl, or anywhere in between and your chimney needs honest attention, call us at (516) 927-2678. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.

How DuraFlex Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• DuraFlex Pro stainless liners and thermal fatigue cracks. The Pro series handles solid fuel well, but in New Rochelle’s freeze-thaw cycles we’ve seen the 316Ti alloy develop circumferential cracking where the liner passes through the smoke shelf. We cut and splice with OEM-compatible DuraFlex Pro sections, never generic flex, and re-insulate the annular space with Ceramic Blanket to spec.
• DuraFlex Ultra and creosote-induced corrosion at the tee. The Ultra’s lighter gauge works for gas and oil, but poor draft in older New Rochelle Colonials can lead to creosote pooling at the tee connection. We pull the tee, inspect the stainless for pinholing, and replace with DuraFlex Ultra tee assemblies that include the factory-designed condensate drain. Aftermarket tees without that drain fitting fail again in 18 months.
• DuraFlex DW (double-wall) and mortar degradation at the top plate. The DW’s outer wall traps moisture against historic chimney crowns. In homes near Long Island Sound, salt air accelerates spalling where the top plate seals. We repoint with Lithomex color-matched mortar, replace the DW top plate with OEM hardware, and seal the crown with CrownSeal - not cheap brush-on acrylic.
• DuraFlex Pro transition fittings and chimney fire damage. When a chimney fire overheats the Pro’s starter section, the crimp deforms and creates a gap that leaks combustion gases. We don’t try to reshape it. We replace the starter and the first flex section, pressure-test the joint, and document with photos you’ll see before we close up.
• DuraFlex factory termination caps and wildlife intrusion. The stock DuraFlex cap mesh is ¾-inch, which raccoons in New Rochelle’s tree-canopied neighborhoods treat as a suggestion. We upgrade to Gelco stainless caps with ⅝-inch mesh on the same DuraFlex collar, maintaining warranty compliance while keeping animals out.

Our DuraFlex Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, notes your DuraFlex model if you know it, and books a Level-2 camera inspection. No deposit, no pressure.
2. 2
   Inspection and documentation. We run a camera the full flue length, photograph every joint, tee, and transition. You see what we see. Russell Haines or one of our senior techs delivers a plain-English verdict: what needs doing now, what can wait, and what’s fine.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We stock common DuraFlex Pro and Ultra fittings. For specialty DW components, we source OEM or factory-authorized equivalents - never builder-grade substitutes that void your remaining warranty coverage.
4. 4
   Repair execution. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most DuraFlex repairs in a single visit. Mortar cures, liners seat, caps seal. We test draft and document with post-repair photos.
5. 5
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. In writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. That’s the Keystone Standard we’ve operated under since 1984.
6. 6
   Cleanup and closeout. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. We leave the work area cleaner than we found it.

Why New Rochelle Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for DuraFlex Work

We’ve been answering calls in Westchester County for over 42 years. That’s long enough to see which repair methods hold up and which don’t.

Our technicians know DuraFlex products by sight and part number, not from a distributor catalog they flipped through last week. When a DuraFlex Pro repair also needs HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing at the smoke chamber, we handle both in one visit. When a Gelco cap makes more sense than the factory termination, we explain why and install it.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise means what it says. In writing, no arguing. Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict. A square deal: no surprises on the bill. We’ll be there when we say.
