How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

We see a lot of Olympia Chimney systems in Leesburg, especially in homes built from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s. Here’s what actually fails and what we do about it:

• Stainless steel liners (Olympia Stainless Flex and Rigid Series): corrosion at the tee connection and at the top termination cap is what we find most often. Condensation from gas appliances settles at the tee, and the acidic moisture eats the thinner liner wall first. We cut out the corroded section or replace the full run, and we correct the pitch or termination detail that caused the moisture to pool. The camera footage shows the pitting before we touch anything.
• Clay tile liner systems (older Olympia terra cotta flues): spalling and cracked tiles in the upper third of the flue. Leesburg’s freeze-thaw cycles push water into the tile face, and each winter the face pops off in flakes. A stainless liner sleeved inside the damaged flue is the standard fix, and it brings the chimney up to current clearances without tearing the chase apart. We also address the water entry at the crown that started the spalling in the first place.
• Flex liner kinks and separations: on Olympia flexible liners, we frequently see a kink or partial collapse near the smoke chamber offset, where the liner takes a sharper angle than it should. This reads on camera as a visible fold or ridge that restricts draft. We re-pull the liner with the right offset guides, or replace the run with a rigid section through the offset when the geometry allows.
• Crown failures on Olympia chase-top terminations: the original poured crown cracks, water gets behind the top plate, and the liner’s top connection rusts through from the outside. We rebuild the crown with proper slope and a drip edge, then replace the damaged top section of the liner and cap. This is one of the most common rebuild jobs we do in Leesburg’s older subdivisions.
• Improper sizing (an information-gain detail): we regularly find Olympia Chimney liners that were under-sized by the original installer for the fireplace’s opening. A 13″x13″ flue serving a 48″ fireplace will smoke and produce cold-backdraft complaints for years. The real fix isn’t a bigger cap or a longer chimney; it’s a properly sized liner along with a smoke chamber that transitions the opening to the flue correctly. We measure the opening, the height, and the flue volume, then build the system to match.

As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we’re not a manufacturer warranty station. We choose the right repair based on condition and geometry, and we’d rather show you the camera feed than talk around it. Corrine Halstead, who owns Level Two Chimney Leesburg, has been pulling cameras through Leesburg flues for years and can point to exactly the spot in the video where the liner stops being serviceable.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and book the Level 2 camera scan. A live person answers at (571) 601-3174, 24/7. We schedule the visit and assign a named tech. You get a text when they’re on the way.
2. 2
   We drop the camera. We send the camera down the flue and record the entire run, from the termination cap to the smoke chamber. You watch the screen with the tech.
3. 3
   We name the finding and the number. If the liner is cracked, corroded, kinked, or under-sized, we say so in plain terms and give you a written price for the fix before any work starts. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: written price, written scope, written warranty.
4. 4
   We decide on parts. For Olympia Chimney repairs, we use genuine Olympia components where the manufacture’s part is still serviceable and appropriate, and we use quality aftermarket stainless parts from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco when that’s the stronger material or geometry choice. We tell you which and why, and the part choice is on the written scope.
5. 5
   We do the rebuild or liner replacement. The old liner section comes out or is sleeved over. Any smoke chamber repair, crown rebuild, or chase top work happens in the same visit when the scope calls for it. The crew is background-checked and uniformed, and the work area is kept clean.
6. 6
   We test and document. The camera goes back down after the job to confirm the new liner is seated correctly with no kinks or gaps. You get the photo record, readings, and the written warranty before we pull out of the driveway. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, the practice that has been in place since 2009.
