If you own an Olympia Chimney product and you’re seeing water stains, crumbling mortar, or a liner that’s pulling away from the flue wall, call us at (331) 200-4445. We’ll send a technician with a camera, a written condition report, and a flat price - in that order every time.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liner: crevice corrosion at the flex points. The titanium-stabilized stainless resists most acids, but in Hoffman Estates we see repeated freeze-thaw cycles force condensation into the corrugation valleys. That trapped moisture eats pinholes at the stress ridges. We section-scan with a chimney camera to map the damage, then sleeve or replace only the failed section using matching 316Ti from our Haven buying network - not a downgrade to 304.
• Olympia Pro-Formance rigid liner: joint separation in tall flues. The twist-lock couplings work well until thermal cycling loosens them over seasons. We find gaps at the third or fourth joint in two-story Hoffman Estates homes with exterior chimneys. Our fix is re-seating with OEM gaskets where available, or a quality aftermarket equivalent from DuraFlex that meets the same temperature and pressure spec.
• Olympia Gelco-compatible caps: base-rail rust-through. These mount on Gelco base rails that were sometimes galvanized rather than stainless in production runs from 2012-2016. The cap itself is fine; the rail dissolves. We replace with a stainless base rail from our Famco supply, reusing the Olympia cap if it’s sound - saving the homeowner the full assembly cost.
• Olympia waterproofing treatments: failure at the crown interface. Olympia’s silane-siloxane blend sheds water well on vertical brick, but we see it applied over crowned chimneys where the crown itself is cracked. The waterproofing masks the real problem for two seasons, then water finds the crack and accelerates spalling below. We strip the old treatment, repair or recast the crown with HeatShield CrownCoat, then reapply - this time with a 10-year spec instead of a 2-year cosmetic coat.
• Olympia chimney pots and decorative tops: freeze-thaw spalling on the collar. The terracotta collars on Olympia’s architectural line absorb water through hairline cracks that don’t show until January. In Hoffman Estates, where January nights hit -10°F regularly, that water expands and flakes the collar face. We remove the pot, document the flue condition underneath (these often hide liner damage), and either restore with a matching collar from Copperfield or recommend a stainless alternative if the homeowner wants a permanent fix.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask for the Olympia model or series if you know it, and whether you’re seeing water, smoke, or structural damage.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. Our technician runs a chimney camera the full flue length. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a photo record on every job - we started that practice in 2009. You get the footage, not just our summary.
3. 3
   Written price, written scope, written warranty. Before any repair begins, we deliver a flat price with no open-ended line items. This is Haven Standard Clause 1: “Have it in writing.” If you have a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll give you a free second opinion.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. We source Olympia-compatible materials through our Haven buying network - DuraFlex for liners, HeatShield for crowns, Gelco for caps, Famco for dampers, Copperfield for masonry. We tell you which we’re using and why.
5. 5
   The repair and post-work test. We complete the repair, then run a smoke or pressure test to verify integrity. No test, no sign-off.
6. 6
   Documented record and 365-Day Done Right Promise. You receive photos, test results, and a written warranty. If it’s not done right, we make it right - stamped on every job.

Why Hoffman Estates Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Hoffman Estates for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of our Hoffman Estates calls involve Olympia Chimney products installed in homes built during the 2015-2020 window. Corrine Halstead, who runs our Hoffman Estates operation, spent fifteen years in the northwest suburbs before she ever quoted an Olympia job - she knows which village inspectors want photos, which HOAs require matching brick, and how the clay soils around Hoffman Estates shift chimneys differently than lakefront properties.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and named on your appointment - you’ll get a text when they’re on the way. We don’t subcontract Olympia work to crews who’ve never seen a 316Ti flex point. And because we also stock DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, we’re not captive to one manufacturer’s parts pipeline or pricing. If an Olympia component is back-ordered, we have alternatives that meet the same spec - and we document why we’re using them.
