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 Cleaning & Sweep in Leesburg: What to Know First
An Olympia Chimney chimney cleaning and sweep in Leesburg costs between $189 and $329 for a standard Level 2 inspection with camera scan, which is what we do on every visit. Most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes, and you get a written price before anything starts plus a photo record of the flue when we’re done. We service every Olympia Chimney liner, cap, and chase cover configuration we’ve encountered in Leesburg homes since 2009. If you own an Olympia Chimney product and want a documented cleaning, call (571) 601-3174.

This page is for homeowners in Leesburg who have an Olympia Chimney liner system, cap, or chase cover and want to know what a real cleaning involves, what it costs, and what can go wrong if it’s deferred. We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not an authorized dealer, which means we fix problems the way an inspector would, not the way a warranty department might prefer.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316L stainless liners with pitting at the tee connection. Leesburg’s freeze-thaw cycles push condensation into the lower sections of the flue, and we regularly find pinhole corrosion where the tee meets the liner on systems installed before 2015. The fix is a camera-confirmed assessment first, then either a liner patch section or full replacement with a written quote before work starts.
- Olympia Chimney rain caps with clogged mesh screens. The screen mesh on Olympia caps catches creosote and ash faster than most owners expect, especially in wood-burning fireplaces in the Potomac Station and Exeter neighborhoods. We remove the cap, clean or replace the screen, and document it with photos. If the cap is warped, we source an aftermarket replacement that matches the existing footprint.
- Olympia Chimney chase covers with rust-through at the corners. A galvanized Olympia chase cover on a prefab chimney in Leesburg will start showing rust at the folded corners somewhere around year 8 to 10, faster if the chase top collects leaves from a nearby oak. We see this most often in older sections of town near the Balls Bluff Battlefield area. The fix is either a stainless replacement with proper slope or a full rebuild if the chase is compromised.
- Clay tile liners originally paired with Olympia parts. Some Leesburg homes with Olympia caps and dampers still have original clay tile liners underneath. Those tiles spall, meaning the surface flakes away from thermal stress, leaving gaps where creosote builds dangerously. We identify spalling on camera, explain it in plain terms, and quote a liner replacement using Olympia-compatible or equivalent stainless components.
- Creosote accumulation in Olympia dampers. Throat dampers made by Olympia tend to collect creosote at the hinge plate, especially when the fireplace is used more than 40 times in a season. The hinge plate is the flat metal piece that pivots to open and close the damper. We clean it, lubricate it with dry graphite, and note any warping that signals a replacement.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

Here’s what happens when you call Level Two Chimney Leesburg about an Olympia Chimney system:
- 1
You call (571) 601-3174. A live person answers. You describe your chimney and what you’re seeing. We schedule a time and assign a named technician.
- 2
We arrive on schedule with a text update before we pull up. Our tech is background-checked and uniformed, with the license number on every page we hand you.
- 3
Camera down the flue first. We don’t start cleaning until we’ve seen the liner condition, creosote level, and any cracking, spalling, or blockage. This is an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection, and it’s included on every visit, not billed as an add-on.
- 4
Written price, written scope, written warranty before any work starts. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard. You see the number before we touch a brush.
- 5
We clean the full system. Down to the smoke chamber, which is the area above the firebox that most sweeps ignore, and the damper hinge plate if you have an Olympia throat damper. We identify the creosote class on camera and explain what it means.
- 6
Documented photo record when we’re done. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, running continuously since 2009. You get photos of the before, during, and after. If we used an aftermarket part instead of an Olympia OEM part, we tell you why and give you the written warranty on that part.

Frequently Asked Questions About Olympia Chimney Cleaning in Leesburg
A standard cleaning with a Level 2 camera inspection runs $189 to $279 in Leesburg, depending on roof pitch and creosote level. Our price is written before work starts, so the number you’re quoted is the number you pay. Call (571) 601-3174 for a written estimate.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends a sweep whenever creosote builds to 1/8 inch or more. In Leesburg, where we burn seasonally from October through March, that typically means an annual sweep. If you skip a year, the creosote hardens into a Class III glaze that costs more to remove.
You need a new liner if the camera shows cracking, gaps, or pitting that compromises the flue wall. You don’t need one just because a sweep says you do. That’s why we hand you the photo record before we ask for a decision. If the liner can be patched, we tell you. If it can wait another season, we write that down too.
Creosote builds, hardens, and becomes a chimney fire risk. A chimney fire in Leesburg can crack the flue liner, which then allows carbon monoxide into the home. The camera footage from your last cleaning shows exactly where you stand, and if you haven’t had one in a while, the number to call is (571) 601-3174.
Yes, as an independent service provider. We document everything on camera, which is what any warranty claim needs. We don’t void warranties by using aftermarket parts when the OEM part isn’t available, and we tell you in writing what we used and why.
