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.
Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair in Leesburg: What to Know First
Olympia Chimney chimney repair in Leesburg runs $220-$780 for most common failures: cracked crown mortar, spalling brick at the shoulders, or failed flashing where the flue meets the roofline. We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not a factory-authorized shop, which means we choose the fix that matches the actual failure instead of pushing a full replacement. Most single-visit repairs take one to two hours, and every job gets a written price before work starts, with photo documentation when it’s done. If you’re in Leesburg with an Olympia Chimney product that’s showing signs of trouble, call (571) 601-3174 and tell us what you’re seeing, and we’ll tell you what it’ll cost to make it right.

This page is for homeowners who bought an Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner, chimney cap, or venting system and now need the masonry around it repaired. We fix the full stack: the liner’s connection points, the crown, the bricks, and the flashing. Corrine Halstead and our crew have worked on Olympia Chimney installations across Leesburg long enough to know exactly what holds up and what gives out.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 6-inch flexible liners pulling loose at the top plate. The liner itself rarely fails. What fails is the connection where the top plate meets the crown, because the clamp loosens through freeze-thaw cycles in Leesburg winters. We find the liner has dropped a quarter-inch and the flue gases are spilling into the chase. Fix: reseat the liner, torque the clamp to spec, and re-point the crown around the plate so water stops migrating down between liner and masonry. Two hours, typically.
- Olympia Chimney stainless caps with failed screen seams. The mesh screen on Olympia caps catches everything, and where the screen is tack welded to the cap body, the welds fail after about five to seven years. We see it on older Olympia Chimney models throughout Leesburg, especially near Balls Bluff where the wind exposure is constant. Fix: replace with either an OEM Olympia cap or a Copperfield equivalent if the homeowner wants to keep the same look at a lower cost. Either way, written price before we order parts.
- Rusted flue connectors where Olympia Chimney pipe meets a wood stove or insert. This is the one failure most Olympia owners don’t spot until we run the camera. The connector section is the thinnest metal in the system and it’s sitting in the hottest air. Spalling and rust at the connector is almost always a sign the connector was installed as an aftermarket part, not the Olympia chimney collar. We replace it with the correct radius and pitch, check the draw, and document it with before-and-after photos.
- Crown mortar cracking around the liner opening. We see this on Olympia Chimney installations where the original crown was poured too thin or the control joints were never cut. The crown shrinks, cracks around the liner penetration, and water enters the chimney structure. In Leesburg’s wet springs and hard winters, the spalling starts within two or three seasons. Fix: full crown recast with proper slope away from the flue and flexible control joints, plus a HydroBan waterproofing coat if the homeowner wants the extra protection.
- Leaning or separated masonry above the roofline, with the liner exposed. This is the worst-case Olympia Chimney scenario. The clay tile or block above the roof has shifted, and the stainless liner is now holding things together. The liner usually survives; the masonry doesn’t. Fix: rebuild the top section of the chimney, reset the liner with a proper brick tie-in, and re-flash the whole assembly. It’s a one-day job, quoted with exact line items.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

- 1
Camera first, always. We run the scope down the flue before we touch a single brick. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a documented photo record, and we’ve been doing this since 2009, years before it became expected.
- 2
We name the finding and the price. We point to the exact spot on the monitor: “Your crown is cracked at the nine o’clock position. Here’s what we do about it and here’s what it costs in writing.”
- 3
Parts decision, on the table. If a part needs replacing on an Olympia Chimney system, we quote both the OEM part and a quality aftermarket equivalent from DuraFlex or Gelco, then let you choose. No markup games. No hidden margins.
- 4
The repair work. Mortar repointing, flashing replacement, crown recast, brick rebuild, liner reconnection - whatever the camera called out, we fix in one visit, with clean drop cloths and a full cleanup.
- 5
The test. We verify the repaired section with a second camera pass, check the draw at the flue opening, and document everything with photos.
- 6
The guarantee, in writing. Every Olympia Chimney repair is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Stamped on every job under the Haven Standard.

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

Because we name the problem on the spot and hand you a written price before anyone checks a work order. Corrine Halstead trained in building trades and heating systems at Queensborough Community College and has spent years working on every flue configuration the Northeast could throw at her. She shows customers the camera footage herself, points at the rust, the crack, the separated joint, and says what it costs. No soft-pedaling, no upsell pressure. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither does the price she writes down before she starts. We also work with DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco components regularly, so if an Olympia part is backordered, we have a path that doesn’t leave your chimney open to rain for three weeks. Live phone support runs 24/7, and every technician is background-checked and uniformed, with license information on every page.
FAQs
No, not when the repair is done to the masonry and connection points around the system. Olympia Chimney’s product warranty covers manufacturing defects in the liner and components themselves, not the surrounding structure. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we repair what actually failed, and we document every step so you have a record if a warranty claim ever comes up.
The liner may be intact, but the structure around it is failing, and that’s the risk. When bricks spall badly enough to shift, the liner takes lateral load it was never designed for. We’ve seen Olympia Chimney liners holding up entire chimney tops in Leesburg neighborhoods, waiting for one hard freeze. If you see brick faces popping off or loose mortar joints near the top, call us at (571) 601-3174 and we’ll put the camera on it.
Most Olympia Chimney repairs are scheduled within two to five business days if you’re in Leesburg, earlier if a leak is actively entering the home. We text when the named technician is on the way, and they arrive in a marked truck with a uniform and a name tag.
If the flue liner is intact, the smoke chamber is sound, and the damage is limited to mortar joints, a crown, flashing, or a few bricks, repair wins on cost and lifespan. We recommend replacement only when the liner has separated, the brick core is turning to dust, or the chimney has shifted enough that a rebuild costs less than patching forever. You’ll see exactly what we see on the camera before we ever recommend it.
If you own an Olympia Chimney product in Leesburg and something doesn’t look right, call (571) 601-3174. We’ll give you a real answer and a written price. That’s how we’ve done it since 2009, and that’s how we’ll do it on your chimney.
