This page is for Fort Worth homeowners who bought a Famco product for their chimney system and need someone who knows how these parts age in North Texas heat, wind, and the occasional ice event. We’re not Famco dealers. We’re the crew that fixes what Famco built after the warranty expires or when the original installer is long gone.

How Famco Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Famco 304 stainless chimney caps with mesh screens: The 304-grade mesh on these caps holds up well to rain but struggles with Fort Worth’s fine limestone dust and cottonwood seed load. We see screens clogged solid in Benbrook and Westover Hills by late May. Our fix: pull the cap, ultrasonic-clean or replace the mesh depending on corrosion pitting, and reseal with a fresh bead of high-temp silicone rather than the original compression fit that loosens after three Texas summers.
• Famco galvanized roof caps (WC series): The WC line’s baked-enamel finish chalks faster than the 304 caps, and we’ve tracked premature rust-through on west-facing exposures in the Cultural District where afternoon sun bakes the metal past 170°F. When the galvanized substrate shows orange bloom, we replace with a powder-coated aftermarket equivalent or step up to 304 stainless if the flue gas chemistry warrants it. We document the exposure angle and recommend the upgrade in writing.
• Famco chimney dampers: The cast-aluminum throat dampers seize when creosote glaze settles on the pivot pins. In Fort Worth’s shoulder seasons, homeowners open and close dampers frequently, grinding abrasive deposits into the bushing. We disassemble, media-blast the pin and bushing, lubricate with graphite high-temp grease, and replace the silicone gasket if it’s hardened. If the cast body is cracked from over-torque, we source a stainless aftermarket damper from our Haven buying network rather than waiting on Famco backorder.
• Famco B-vent gas venting: The twist-lock joints in older B-vent runs loosen from thermal cycling, especially where the vent passes through unconditioned attic space in Ridglea or Arlington Heights homes with original 1960s framing. We pressure-test the joint with a manometer, reseat with fresh locking tabs, and add a support strap where sagging has stressed the connection. For retrofits, we keep DuraFlex and HeatShield adaptors in stock so we’re not matching Famco SKUs that Famco itself has discontinued.
• Famco chimney pots and decorative shrouds: The terracotta-style polyurethane shrouds craze and delaminate when UV exposure combines with freeze-thaw, which happens more than newcomers expect during Fort Worth’s January cold snaps. We remove the shroud, assess the flue liner and crown condition underneath (often neglected for years), and reinstall with a proper cricket if the roof pitch channels water toward the chimney. The replacement shroud gets a UV-stable topcoat we source through Copperfield.

Our Famco Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule: A live person answers, checks Famco part availability in our local inventory, and books a window. You’ll get a text when your tech is en route.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection: Camera down the flue, photos of the Famco component in situ, and readings on adjacent masonry or venting. We find what the Famco part is hiding, not just what’s wrong with the part.
3. 3
   Written scope and price: Before any tool touches your chimney, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Parts decision: We stock Famco-compatible components and quality aftermarket alternatives from Olympia Chimney and Gelco. If OEM is backordered or overpriced, we show you both options with warranty implications spelled out.
5. 5
   Repair and test: We complete the work, run a draft test or pressure test depending on the system, and photograph the finished repair from angles that show the work.
6. 6
   Documentation and follow-up: Your photo record uploads same-day. The 365-Day Done Right Promise starts immediately. If it’s not right, we make it right.
