How Famco Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Famco 4-inch round dampers in Cooper Street row homes seize from creosote glazing. Camden’s heavy heating-season use and frequent temperature swings bake Class II and III creosote into the damper blade pivot. We remove the damper, media-blast the pivot housing in our shop, and reinstall with a stainless steel pin. If the blade is warped, we quote a replacement in writing before ordering.
• Famco WC wind-directional chimney caps clog with soot in Camden’s industrial corridor. The WC series uses a rotating hood that jams when fine particulate from older oil boilers packs the bearings. During sweep visits we disassemble the hood, clean the bearing race, and test rotation. When the housing is pitted, we source replacement caps through our Haven buying network rather than patching a part that will seize again.
• Famco BD barometric draft regulators drift out of calibration after heavy soot loads. The BD series relies on a weighted gate that responds to draft pressure; accumulated soot changes the gate’s effective weight and causes over-firing or backdrafting. Our sweep includes draft testing with a digital manometer, and we recalibrate or replace the weight set based on readings, not guesswork.
• Famco RC round chimney caps crack at the mounting flange in freeze-thaw cycles. Camden’s wet winters and salt air accelerate corrosion where the flange meets the flue tile. We spot this during camera inspection, document it with photos, and quote a stainless steel replacement or a custom-fabricated cricket if the chase is deteriorated. We do not seal over cracked flanges; the water always wins.
• Famco SD static vent caps on mid-century chimneys trap moisture behind the screen. The SD series uses a fine mesh that holds condensation against galvanized steel in Camden’s humid summers, accelerating rust that flakes into the flue. During cleaning we remove the screen, assess the housing thickness with a pin gauge, and recommend replacement in aluminum or stainless before the rust compromises the flue opening.

Our Famco Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability, and notes your Famco model if you know it. We do not use voicemail or web forms for booking.
2. 2
   Arrival and setup. Your assigned technician texts when en route, arrives in uniform, and lays protection from the door to the hearth. License number is visible on request.
3. 3
   Level 2 camera inspection. We run a chimney camera the full flue length, documenting liner condition, creosote class, and any Famco component wear. The camera shows it. The report names it. The price is written before we ask for anything.
4. 4
   Written price and scope. You receive a single-page document: what we found, what we recommend, the exact price, and the warranty terms. No work begins until you approve in writing.
5. 5
   Sweep and service. We remove creosote and soot with rotary brushes sized to your flue, service or replace Famco components with OEM or quality aftermarket parts from our Haven buying network, and perform post-sweep draft testing.
6. 6
   Documentation and cleanup. You leave with photos, camera footage, a written completion report, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on your invoice. We vacuum and remove all protection before leaving.

Why Camden Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Camden for Famco Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a significant share in Camden have been Famco components installed during the 1980s through early 2000s housing stock. Corrine Halstead and our crew know the failure patterns: which Cooper Street blocks have the oil-soaked BD regulators, which Fairview basements hide seized 4-inch dampers behind bricked-over thimbles. We also carry DuraFlex liner, HeatShield resurfacing compound, and Gelco caps as alternatives when Famco parts are back-ordered or the design is obsolete. Every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and we offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate. Live phone support runs 24 hours a day.
