How Famco Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Famco chimney caps (WC and SC series) - The WC line’s galvanized steel lid can separate at the seam weld after six to eight Marietta summers of UV cycling and thermal shock. We find the lid lifted like a book opened halfway, letting pine straw and red clay grit straight into the flue. Our fix: source a replacement cap through Haven’s buying network, match the flue diameter exactly, and seal with a stainless base ring that won’t gall against the existing flue tile.
• Famco top-sealing dampers (Lyemance and Lock-Top) - The silicone rubber gasket on early Lyemance units hardens faster in Marietta’s humidity than in drier climates, losing seal by year four or five instead of the advertised ten. Smoke smell in the firebox on humid August afternoons is the tell. We replace the gasket with a high-temp silicone rated to 600°F, or if the cast-aluminum frame is pitted, we quote a complete Lock-Top assembly with stainless construction.
• Famco wall vents and roof jacks (RV and B-Vent series) - The RV series termination hood uses a lighter-gauge aluminum that dents from hail and then pools water. In Marietta, we’ve replaced dozens after the March 2021 hail event across East Cobb. We upgrade to a heavier-gauge hood or, if the vent run is short enough, transition to a stainless B-Vent termination with a proper storm collar.
• Famco masonry chimney pots - These terra cotta pots look substantial but lack the internal baffle design of English imports. Freeze-thaw in Marietta’s January cold snaps cracks the pot at the throat, and the crack propagates into the crown below. We remove the pot, inspect the crown with a hammer test, and either repoint a sound crown or pour a new concrete crown with proper drip edge and expansion joint.
• Famco chimney fans (Exhausto and Enervex lines) - The Exhausto EFC series motor bearings fail when Marietta’s pollen season coats the housing intake. The fan runs louder, then stops starting on humid mornings. We pull the housing, clean the impeller and volute, and replace the motor assembly. If the flue is oversized for the appliance, we note that in writing - a fan fixes draft, but it doesn’t fix a flue that was never right.

Our Famco Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks Corrine’s calendar or assigns a named tech, and sends a text when they’re en route.
2. 2
   Camera-first inspection. We run the camera down the flue before touching tools. Camera first, quote second, work third - in that order, every time.
3. 3
   Famco-specific diagnosis. We identify the series, note any discontinued parts, and check Haven’s buying network for OEM or quality aftermarket alternatives from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco.
4. 4
   Written price and scope. You get a single-page quote with line items, warranty terms, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. No work starts until you sign.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We complete the repair, run a post-job camera pass, and test draft and spillage with a manometer.
6. 6
   Documentation and cleanup. You receive photos, camera footage, a written completion record, and our warranty stamped under Haven Standard Clause 1. We haul away debris.
