How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti stainless liners with creosote glazing in older Towson flues. The 316Ti alloy resists corrosion, but in Towson’s freeze-thaw cycles, marginal draft from unlined or partially lined brick flues lets smoke linger. That smoke condenses into glazed creosote, a hard, tar-like layer standard brushes won’t touch. We use mechanical de-glazing heads followed by a rotary poly system, then verify with a camera before we sign off.
• Olympia Chimney round-flex liners that lose their termination seal. The collar where a round-flex liner meets the top plate can work loose after seasons of expansion and contraction. Water follows the gap, staining the chase and corroding the top from the inside. We reseat with proper Olympia-compatible hardware or, if the top plate is too far gone, fabricate a replacement using Gelco or Copperfield components that mate cleanly.
• Olympia Chimney smooth-wall liners with incomplete initial cleaning records. Some Towson homeowners bought these systems for their improved draft, then assumed “smooth wall” meant self-cleaning. It doesn’t. Soot still builds, especially with modern EPA stoves that run cooler flue temps. We document baseline condition with photos, establish a cleaning interval based on actual use, and get you on a schedule that protects your investment.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers with factory drip-edge gaps. The standard galvanized or aluminum covers can hold water at the edge if the drip kick wasn’t formed aggressively enough. In Towson, where we see 40-plus inches of annual precipitation, that water migrates to the liner collar and down the chase interior. We replace with a properly formed Copperfield or Gelco cover, or a custom-fabricated unit, and we always check the liner connection while we’re up there.
• Olympia Chimney ovalized liners retrofitted into square flues with debris accumulation at the corners. The oval profile maximizes flue area, but the remaining corners of the original square tile flue become dead zones. Birds, collapsed mortar, and packed soot collect there, sometimes for years. We extract what we can with specialized corner tools, camera-verify the full circumference, and advise honestly when the retrofit geometry itself is the problem.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask about your Olympia Chimney product, appliance type, last service date, and any symptoms you’ve noticed. We quote upfront - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
2. 2
   Arrival and protection. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, with floor and furniture covers. We inspect the hearth, damper, and visible flue base before touching anything.
3. 3
   Level 1 or Level 2 inspection. Level 1 covers accessible portions with a flashlight and mirror. Level 2 adds camera inspection - we run a high-resolution camera the full flue length, capture photos you can see, and deliver a plain-English verdict. For Olympia Chimney liners, we pay particular attention to weld seams and termination hardware.
4. 4
   Cleaning with appropriate method. Standard soot gets rotary poly or wire brushes sized to your liner diameter. Glazed creosote gets mechanical treatment first. We never use methods that would void any remaining warranty on your Olympia Chimney product.
5. 5
   Post-cleaning verification and documentation. We camera the flue again after cleaning, provide dated photos, note any recommendations with priority ranking (urgent, plan-for, monitor), and explain what can wait versus what shouldn’t.
6. 6
   Cleanup, guarantee, and next service date. We leave the work area cleaner than we found it. All work carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing - if it’s not right, we make it right, no arguing. We suggest your next sweep based on actual use, not a calendar default.
