How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner corrosion in the 316L series. The 316L alloy resists most acids, but in Ashburn’s freeze-thaw cycles with occasional ice dam backup, we’ve seen pinhole corrosion develop near the top third where condensation collects longest. We pull the camera, show you the exact spot, and if the damage is localized, we can often section-repair with a matching Olympia Chimney collar rather than full replacement.
• Olympia Chimney flexible liner accordioning in tall flues. Their multi-ply flexible liners - especially the 5.5-inch and 6-inch diameters common in Ashburn’s 1980s and 1990s colonials - can develop sag points in runs over 25 feet. The liner still vents, but creosote pools in the low spots and accelerates buildup. We spot this with our Level 2 camera, mark the sag on the photo report, and either re-support the existing run or recommend a rigid Olympia Chimney replacement if the flex has fatigued.
• Olympia Chimney top-sealing damper seal degradation. The silicone gasket on their cast-aluminum top dampers stiffens after roughly 8-12 years in Virginia’s humidity. Homeowners notice drafts or smell smoke on windy days. We carry the OEM gasket kit, but we’ve also had good results with a heavier aftermarket silicone from Famco that outlasts the original in our climate. We show you both options and the price difference.
• Olympia Chimney chimney cap mesh clogging with Ashburn’s maple and oak debris. Their 5/8-inch mesh is NFPA-compliant for spark arresting, but in neighborhoods like Ashburn Village and Farmwell Hunt, the fine samara seeds from maples pack tight against the screen by late May. We remove the cap, clean the mesh without distorting it, and if the pattern repeats yearly, we can source a slightly raised mesh profile from Olympia Chimney that sheds debris better without violating code.
• HeatShield refractory compatibility issues with older Olympia Chimney terra cotta flues. When an Olympia Chimney stainless liner isn’t the right fit for a historic flue, we’ve seen cases where a HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing bonds better to the terra cotta than Olympia Chimney’s own spray liner in certain pH conditions. We test a small patch first, document the adhesion, and proceed only if the material passes. The flue doesn’t lie - and neither do we.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks what you’re burning, how often, and whether you’ve noticed any draft or odor changes. We book a window and send a confirmation.
2. 2
   Arrival and protection. Our technician arrives in a marked van, uniformed, with floor covers and a HEPA vacuum. We confirm the scope and price before touching anything.
3. 3
   Level 1 or Level 2 inspection with camera. We run the camera through the full flue length, capturing video and stills. For Olympia Chimney liners, we note the series stamp if visible and check for OEM-specific wear patterns.
4. 4
   Cleaning and diagnosis. Rotary sweeping with poly or wire brushes sized to your liner diameter. Creosote and soot are removed completely. We flag any corrosion, separation, or support failure and show you the photos.
5. 5
   Parts decision and repair. If something needs fixing, we explain OEM versus quality aftermarket options - Olympia Chimney original, or in some cases DuraFlex or Gelco equivalents where they outperform. You choose. We don’t proceed without your go-ahead.
6. 6
   Final test, documentation, and guarantee. We smoke-test or draft-test the system, leave you with the photo report and written verdict, and back the work with our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing.
