How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney ProFlex 316Ti liner sections separate at the corrugation welds. The 316Ti alloy resists acid corrosion well, but the flex-corrugation manufacturing leaves stress points at every third weld. In Hoffman Estates, where freeze-thaw cycles run November through March, thermal shock accelerates the crack. We camera-scan the full liner length, mark the failed section on the photo record, and replace only the damaged ProFlex run rather than the full system.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style top-mount dampers seize in the open position after 3-5 seasons. The cast-aluminum throat plate warps slightly with each heating season, and creosote buildup in the hinge pocket compounds the problem. We disassemble the damper, ultrasonic-clean the hinge assembly, and replace the throat plate with OEM or a stainless aftermarket equivalent if Olympia’s lead time exceeds two weeks.
• Olympia Chimney stainless rain caps clog with cottonwood seed in June and leaf debris in October. The 3/4-inch mesh that keeps animals out also traps organic matter from the mature tree canopy along Higgins Road and the Hoffman Estates Park District properties. We remove the cap, brush the mesh clean, and reseat it with new fasteners - or upsize to a 5/8-inch mesh if the location warrants.
• Olympia Chimney oval-to-round adapters accumulate Class III glazed creosote at the transition point. The turbulence created where the oval liner meets the round flue throat drops flue gas temperature locally, condensing heavy hydrocarbons into a tar-like glaze. Standard wire brushing won’t touch it. We apply a creosote modifier, let it dwell, then rotary-flail the transition - with the camera running so you see the before and after.
• Olympia Chimney ProFlex 304 liner elbows in exterior chase installations suffer exterior corrosion. The 304 alloy lacks the titanium stabilization of the 316Ti line, and in Hoffman Estates’ exposed western subdivisions near Golf Road, wind-driven rain penetrates chase covers that looked intact from the ground. We pull a camera through the elbow, document the wall thinning with caliper readings, and replace with 316Ti if the corrosion exceeds 20 percent of wall thickness.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Schedule and confirm. You call (331) 200-4445, a live person answers, and we book a two-hour window. You get a text when your tech is en route with name and photo.
2. 2
   Arrive and protect. We lay runners from the door to the hearth, set up a HEPA vacuum, and inspect the appliance and exterior for access. No charge for this.
3. 3
   Camera-scan the flue. We run a chimney camera the full flue length before touching a brush. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job. You watch the feed in real time if you’re home.
4. 4
   Deliver written price and scope. Based on what the camera found, we hand you a one-page written price, scope, and warranty terms. No work starts until you sign. This is Haven Standard Clause 1.
5. 5
   Execute the sweep and any repairs. We brush to NFPA 211 standards, remove creosote and soot, and replace any failed Olympia Chimney components with OEM or equivalent from our DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco inventory.
6. 6
   Final camera pass and documentation. We run the camera again, print or email your photo record, and stamp the 365-Day Done Right Promise on the invoice. Camera first, price second, pen third - in that order every time.
