Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Call (516) 619-2915 - a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner corrosion in coastal salt air. The 304-grade liners that ship standard with many Olympia Chimney builder packages hold up poorly within five miles of the Atlantic. We see pinhole corrosion near the top third of the flue in Southampton Village homes where prevailing southwest winds drive salt spray. We replace with 316Ti alloy or upgrade to a DuraFlex equivalent when the homeowner plans to stay long-term.
- Olympia Chimney flexible liner accordion collapse after improper sizing. The Flex-All series is forgiving during installation but unforgiving if the original installer guessed the flue diameter. A too-large flex liner bunches in offset chimney throats common in 1920s Southampton colonials, trapping creosote and restricting draft. We pull a new correctly sized liner, often rigid in the straight sections and flex only where the offset demands it.
- Olympia Chimney HeatShield-compatible refractory panel spalling in freeze-thaw cycles. The factory refractory panels in Olympia Chimney prefab fireplaces crack when water gets behind deteriorated chimney crowns, then Southampton’s hard freezes expand the moisture. We document the crown failure with photos, replace the panels with OEM or HeatShield Cerfractory foam when appropriate, and fix the water entry or the repair won’t last two winters.
- Olympia Chimney terra cotta flue tile joint separation in unlined chimneys. Many Southampton homes built before 1980 have Olympia Chimney components added later to an unlined brick flue. The terra cotta tiles shift as the chimney settles on Long Island’s glacial till, opening gaps that leak combustion gases into wall cavities. We sleeve with a stainless liner sized to the appliance, not the chimney, and seal the top with a proper collar.
- Olympia Chimney chimney cap and crown deterioration causing liner top rust. The standard galvanized caps on older Olympia Chimney systems rust through in 3-4 years near the salt marsh areas of North Sea. Water runs down the flue and pools on the liner top collar, starting rust that works downward. We replace with Gelco or Copperfield stainless caps with proper drip edges, and inspect the liner top for damage that cheaper sweeps miss because they never run the camera that high.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks about your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a Level-2 inspection. We do not quote blind over the phone.
- 2
Camera inspection and photo report. Our technician runs a full-color camera the length of the flue, documents every crack, joint, and corrosion point, and explains what we found in plain English before any work is discussed.
- 3
Parts decision with options. We stock Olympia Chimney-compatible liners and fittings, and we also carry DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco when those materials better suit your system or budget. You see the price difference upfront.
- 4
Repair or rebuild. Most liner replacements and partial rebuilds finish in one visit. Full chimney rebuilds requiring masonry work get scheduled with weather-appropriate mortar curing time built in.
- 5
Post-repair combustion test. We verify draft, check for spillage at the appliance connection, and confirm the liner is sealed top and bottom.
- 6
Written guarantee and cleanup. The 90-Day Done Right Promise goes in your hand before we leave. The work area gets cleaned. The number on the estimate matches the number on the invoice.

FAQs
No. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use OEM-compatible or equivalent professional-grade parts that meet or exceed factory specifications. Manufacturer warranties on the original product may have time limits regardless of who services the unit; we document our work so any legitimate claim remains supportable.
We stock common Olympia Chimney liner diameters and fittings, and we maintain relationships with distributors who can expedite less common sizes within 48-72 hours. Most liner replacements in Southampton do not wait on parts.
Small, accessible corrosion spots at the liner top can sometimes be collar-repaired. Multiple holes, separated seams, or corrosion below the roofline mean replacement. Our camera inspection shows you exactly which category you’re in before you commit to anything.
A straightforward liner pull-and-replace on a single-flue chimney takes 4-6 hours. Jobs with tight chase enclosures, multiple offsets, or appliance reconnection add time. We quote the full duration when we quote the price.
A compromised liner allows combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, to leak into living spaces through gaps in the surrounding masonry. In Southampton’s older homes with balloon framing, that migration happens faster than owners expect. Creosote can also reach combustible framing where the liner no longer contains it. Call (516) 619-2915 for a free camera inspection - estimates cost nothing, and we’ll tell you plainly if the work can safely wait.
