How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Stainless 304/316 liners in the SW series develop circumferential cracking at the flex joints after 8-12 years in Downingtown’s freeze-thaw cycle. The 304-grade alloy holds up poorly where flue gas condensate sits in shoulder-season burns (October and April, mostly). We pull the failed section, upsize to 316Ti where the budget allows, and sleeve the transition with a DuraFlex Pro connector rated for the acid load.
• Olympia Chimney’s flexible aluminum liners (AF series, pre-2018) corrode from the inside out when used with vented gas inserts running below minimum flue temperature. The aluminum oxide flakes look like gray sand in the cleanout. We don’t patch aluminum - we replace with a stainless liner sized to the appliance BTU output, and we document the appliance tag readings under Haven Standard Clause 4 so the homeowner has a record for resale.
• Olympia Chimney’s rigid 316Ti systems (RT series) suffer mortar-joint failure at the tee and wye fittings. The factory gaskets harden after repeated thermal cycling, and the resulting gap pulls smoke into the chase. We re-gasket with high-temp silicone rated to 600°F, or if the fitting body is warped, we source a compatible Gelco rigid replacement through our Haven buying network.
• Olympia Chimney’s poured refractory liner systems (PR series) delaminate when the original mix was installed too thin above the smoke chamber. You see spalling chunks in the firebox and a “sanded” look on the camera. We remove the loose material, parge with HeatShield Cerfractory foam, and run a pull test to verify bond strength before we sign off.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers on factory-built systems rust through at the drip edge in 6-10 years, letting water run down the flue and corrode the liner top. Downingtown’s oak canopy drops acidic leaf tannins that accelerate it. We replace with a custom-fabricated copper or stainless chase cover from Famco, not another galvanized unit, and we flash it to the siding with a proper cricket where the roof pitch demands it.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Schedule and arrival. You call (484) 558-2798, a live person answers, and we book your NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. Corrine or a named, background-checked tech texts when we’re 30 minutes out.
2. 2
   Camera inspection and documentation. We run the camera down the full flue length, record video and stills, and note liner gauge, joint condition, and any ovality or offset. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job - we’ve done it since 2009.
3. 3
   Written estimate on site. We name the problem, show you the footage, and hand you a written price with scope and warranty before we leave. No “call the office for numbers.” The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
4. 4
   Parts procurement. For Olympia Chimney systems, we evaluate OEM availability against our Haven network options (DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco). We explain the trade-off and warranty implication, and you choose.
5. 5
   Installation and testing. We install to manufacturer clearances, seal with proper high-temp materials, and run a smoke or draft test. We photograph the completed work and add it to your documented record.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. We haul debris, sweep the work area, and leave your written warranty and photo record. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies from day one.

Why Downingtown Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Downingtown for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of our Downingtown calls involve Olympia Chimney products installed during the 2010-2019 new-construction boom in Chester County. Corrine Halstead and our crew know the difference between a SW-series flex joint crack and a chase-cover leak by the stain pattern on the firebox - because we’ve documented both dozens of times. When Olympia Chimney OEM parts run long lead times, we source equivalent DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco components through our Haven buying network, and we tell you exactly what the warranty difference is. The 365-Day Done Right Promise, background-checked uniformed techs, and live 24/7 phone support are standard. Independently owned and operated, not a franchise.
