How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney makes solid products. We install their liners and components often. But every brand has its weak points, and around Doylestown we see the same handful of Olympia-specific issues over and over:

• Ventis stainless liner seams pulling at the pop-rivet points. The Ventis line uses a mechanically assembled double-wall design that handles expansion well, but after 15-plus years of Doylestown freeze-thaw cycles, we sometimes find the inner liner seam rivets loosening. The symptom is a faint metallic tick when the flue heats up. That’s not the chimney settling, it’s the liner expanding against a failed rivet. Fix is a section replacement, not a patch. We stock the Ventis replacement sections or can have them in hand within a few days.
• Olympia flexible liner corrugation trapping creosote in the valley folds. Olympia’s flexible liners are popular for offset flues in older Doylestown colonials. The corrugation gives you flexibility, but it also gives creosote a place to sit. If the previous owner burned green wood, those valleys pack tight with second-degree creosote that a standard brush sweep won’t fully clear. We run a rotary whip with nylon line after the brush to knock the valleys clean, then camera-check before we call the liner done.
• Roof termination cap cross-lock tabs snapping on the Olympia round-top terminations. The cap’s cross-lock design is easy to install, but we’ve pulled off more than one where the stainless tab was fractured at the bend. One hard windstorm, and the cap sits crooked or opens a water path. We stock aftermarket caps from DuraFlex and Gelco that fit Olympia flue openings and use a more forgiving clamp band.
• Olympia masonry repair components aging faster than the liner itself. Olympia’s liner systems are built to last. The mortar and flashing around them are not. On Doylestown homes where the liner was installed 12 to 15 years ago, we often find the liner in decent shape but the crown cracked, the flashing lifting, and water getting behind the liner. The fix is not always a new liner. Sometimes it’s a crown rebuild and a waterproofing treatment. We’ll tell you which.
• Improperly sized Olympia liners from prior installs. This one’s not Olympia’s fault, but we see it in Doylestown more than you’d think. A previous contractor drops in a liner that’s an inch too small for the appliance, or the liner was cut short of the flue tile top. Result: drafting issues, back-puffing, and creosote accumulation at the transition. We measure the actual appliance output and flue dimensions before quoting a liner job. If the existing liner is wrong, we replace it with the right one and show you the math.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   You call (484) 600-2977. A live person answers. Might be Wendell. We set a window, not a four-hour guess.
2. 2
   We show up, we look, we run the camera. Before anything else, we inspect the full flue with a camera and show you exactly what we see on the screen. No mystery, no “trust us.” If the chimney doesn’t need a full clean or liner, we’ll say so and charge you for what it did need.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If it’s an Olympia liner job, we check whether OEM Olympia sections are the right call or whether a DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco equivalent does the job better for less. We tell you the difference and the price. You pick.
4. 4
   The work. Liner goes in, sections are joined and tested, the crown and flashing are brought back to proper shape if needed. If it’s a rebuild, we start from solid existing masonry and work up.
5. 5
   The test. We fire the appliance, check draft and carbon monoxide at the appliance collar, and run the camera one more time so you see the finished liner before we leave.
6. 6
   The paperwork. You get the invoice with the price you were quoted, a written 90-Day Done Right Promise, and our phone number. One call brings us back if anything’s not right.
