How Famco Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Famco chimney caps with galvanized steel mesh corrode faster in Lansdale’s wet freeze-thaw cycles than aluminum or stainless alternatives. We see this most on pre-2015 installations near Towamencin Creek, where humidity lingers. Our fix: remove the cap, document mesh integrity with camera, and replace with a stainless or copper cap from our Haven network - or rebuild the existing frame if the flue collar is still sound.
• Famco WD series chimney dampers develop cable fraying where the control line exits the firebox. The cable housing collects creosote dust, accelerates wear, and eventually jams open or closed. We clean the housing, inspect the cable with borescope, and replace with a matched stainless cable assembly - OEM spec or better - rather than lubricating and hoping.
• Famco round chimney pots on tall flues trap Class III glazed creosote behind the baffle plate because the narrow throat slows draft in shoulder seasons. Homeowners smell smoke on mild days. We remove the pot, mechanically de-glaze the flue with polymer whips, and verify draft recovery with a manometer reading - not a guess.
• Famco B-Vent collars on gas inserts loosen where the slip joint meets the appliance adapter. Thermal cycling works the connection loose over 5-7 years, and the gap pulls combustion air from the room instead of the outside. We reseat with high-temp sealant, add a mechanical lock if the factory tab is fatigued, and combustion-test before leaving.
• Famco chimney fans on exterior walls bind with creosote slurry after wet Pennsylvania winters. The motor housing isn’t sealed against driving rain, and the bearings rust. We pull the fan, clean the impeller blades, test amp draw against spec, and replace only if the motor is out of tolerance - not as a default upsell.

Our Famco Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks Famco part availability in our Lansdale warehouse, and books a window. You get a text when your tech is en route.
2. 2
   Arrival and setup. Your assigned technician - background-checked, uniformed, license number visible - lays protection from the door to the hearth. Corrine Halstead assigns techs by Famco familiarity; our crew has handled hundreds of Famco units in Montgomery County.
3. 3
   Level 2 camera inspection. We run a borescope the full flue length per NFPA 211 Level 2, document liner condition, creosote class, and any Famco-specific wear. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
4. 4
   Written price, written scope. Before any cleaning or repair begins, you receive a written price, written scope, and written warranty under Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions.
5. 5
   Cleaning and repair. We sweep to NFPA 211 standards, replace worn Famco components with OEM or quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco as appropriate, and note any deviations from factory spec.
6. 6
   Documentation and close. You walk away with photos, camera footage, a written condition report, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on your invoice. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires it.

What Famco Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Costs in Lansdale

Price moves with flue height, roof access, and creosote severity. A two-story colonial on Walnut Street with a steep pitch costs more than a ranch near Lansdale Borough Park. We tell you before we start. Call (267) 327-4785 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
