How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti stainless liners in prewar Brooklyn brownstones develop creosote glazing at the first elbow above the smoke shelf. The 316Ti alloy resists acid corrosion, but the tight offset angles common in Park Slope and Crown Heights flues create cold spots where creosote hardens into a tar-like glaze that standard brushes won’t touch. We remove it with a rotary polypropylene system, then verify the liner wall thickness with a borescope to confirm no pitting has started beneath the deposit.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible caps in coastal Queens and Staten Island trap moisture against the flue tile when the mesh clogs with leaf debris from London plane trees. The cap’s 304 stainless mesh is not the problem; the maintenance interval is. We clean the mesh, inspect the flue tile for spalling at the crown line, and document the condition with photos the homeowner can see.
• Olympia Chimney DuraFlex relining systems in the Bronx separate at the collar joints after fifteen to twenty years of thermal cycling. The joint is warrantied for ten years, but we’ve found that the expansion differential between the flexible liner and the rigid masonry throat causes fatigue right at the warranty cutoff. We cut back to sound metal, install a new collar with high-temp sealant rated to 2000°F, and pressure-test the joint.
• Olympia Chimney HeatShield-compatible refractory panels in fireplace inserts crack along the factory seam when homeowners in Astoria and Washington Heights burn unseasoned softwood. The panel is not defective; the thermal shock is. We clean the firebox, replace the panel if the crack penetrates to the metal wrapper, and note the fuel type in the inspection report for next season.
• Olympia Chimney Famco damper assemblies in converted coal chimneys seize when creosote drips from the flue wall onto the cast iron throat mechanism. The damper frame is often original to the 1920s chimney, with an Olympia retrofit plate. We remove the plate, clean the frame and pivot pins with a solvent that won’t degrade the gasket, and reassemble with graphite lubricant that won’t gum up in cold weather.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call intake with a live person. When you call (855) 950-3861, a live person answers 24 hours a day. We ask for the Olympia Chimney model or series if you know it, the fuel type, the last sweep date, and any symptoms you’ve noticed.
2. 2
   Level 1 or Level 2 inspection on arrival. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, with a tablet for photo documentation. For Olympia Chimney systems, we verify the liner alloy grade and cap model against our field database before starting work.
3. 3
   Creosote and soot removal with brand-appropriate tools. We select brush stiffness and rod material based on your specific Olympia Chimney liner specification. A 316Ti liner gets a softer poly brush than a 304 system to preserve the titanium surface layer.
4. 4
   Camera inspection of joints and offsets. Every Olympia Chimney job gets a borescope pass at the liner collar, the first offset, and the smoke chamber. We photograph what we find and explain it in plain English before you pay.
5. 5
   Written verdict and pricing. If we find a problem, we show you the photo, quote the repair with no-hassle upfront pricing, and complete most repairs in the same visit from our stocked DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney parts inventory.
6. 6
   Cleanup, test fire, and guarantee. We run a test fire to confirm draft and spillage performance, clean the work area with drop cloths and HEPA vacuums, and leave you with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No arguing.

We’ve been answering the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we plan to be here in thirty more. That changes how you treat a customer. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, no arguing, because Frank Calucci learned from his father, a Bensonhurst mason, that the mortar doesn’t lie and neither do we. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Olympia Chimney specifications plus the full professional-grade lineup: DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield. When an Olympia part is back-ordered, we know which aftermarket alternative meets or exceeds the OEM spec and won’t void your remaining warranty. Most jobs finish in a single visit. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Done right, and we stand behind it.
