How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner collars loosen in freeze-thaw cycles. Trenton’s winter temperature swings - often 40 degrees in a single day - work the collar fasteners loose on Olympia’s standard-duty flex liners, especially the 316Ti series installed during the 2008-2014 rush. We find gaps that let combustion gases leak into the chase. Our fix: remove the collar, reseat with high-temp gasket compound, and torque to Olympia’s spec - or upgrade to a Gelco locking collar if the metal has fatigued.
• Olympia Chimney’s Economy line caps clog with creosote faster than advertised. The ¾-inch mesh on Economy caps was designed for dry cordwood regions, not Trenton’s humid summers and oak-dominant burn habits. We pull caps with mesh completely occluded after two seasons. Our fix: swap for a Copperfield 5/8-inch mesh cap with a deeper lid, or clean and reset the original if the homeowner burns exclusively kiln-dried hardwood.
• Olympia Chimney’s oval-to-round adapters trap soot at the weld seam. The 6-inch oval adapters common in Trenton’s pre-war construction have an interior weld bead that catches soot during low-temperature burns. After three years, we’ve measured adapters with 40% flow restriction. Our fix: rotary sweep with a reverse-balling technique, then borescope inspection of the seam. If the weld has corroded through, we replace with a DuraFlex seamless adapter.
• Olympia Chimney’s poured-in-place HeatShield-compatible crowns crack along the flue edge. Trenton’s clay-heavy soil shifts foundations; that movement transmits to the crown within five to seven years. Olympia’s crown mix is workable but thin at the standard 2-inch pour. Our fix: mill the crown back to sound concrete, apply HeatShield CrownCoat to manufacturer thickness, and tool a drip edge that sheds water away from the flue.
• Olympia Chimney’s single-wall black stovepipe sections separate at the male joint. Thermal expansion works the crimp loose, especially on systems that see daily use from November through March. We find separated joints dumping soot into the mantel cavity in Hamilton Township homes with Olympia installations from the big-box era. Our fix: disassemble, inspect for warping, reseat with fresh stove cement, and add a locking band if the crimp has stretched beyond tolerance.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call intake with a live person. We ask what you burn, how often, and when the last sweep was. If you know the Olympia Chimney model or series, we note it. We schedule, confirm, and send a photo of your technician before arrival.
2. 2
   Arrival and protective setup. Our technician lays runners, inspects the hearth and surrounding masonry, and starts the Level 1 or Level 2 inspection per NFPA 211. For Olympia Chimney systems, we check the collar, cap, and any adapter numbers visible from the firebox.
3. 3
   Camera inspection and documentation. We run a color borescope up the flue, capturing photos of the liner condition, creosote buildup pattern, and any collar or joint gaps. You see the images on a tablet as we explain what we’re looking at.
4. 4
   Sweep and component service. We match the brush and rod system to your Olympia Chimney liner diameter and material - poly for stainless, wire for clay tile. Creosote is removed to bare liner or tile. The cap comes off for mesh cleaning or replacement evaluation.
5. 5
   Test burn and final documentation. We light a small test fire or run the appliance to verify draft and check for leaks at collars and joints. You receive a written report with photos, our plain-English verdict, and any recommended next steps with upfront pricing.
6. 6
   Cleanup, guarantee, and close. We vacuum, remove runners, and leave the work area as we found it. Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing - if it’s not right, we come back, no arguing.
