How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner collars loosen in freeze-thaw cycles. The South Sound’s wet winters and occasional hard freezes around Olympia cause the clamp-band assemblies on Olympia Chimney’s standard-duty liner kits to back off over two to three seasons. We find this most often in homes near Budd Inlet where salt air accelerates the corrosion. Our fix: remove the collar, clean the mating surface with a wire wheel, apply nickel-based anti-seize, and reset to 60 inch-pounds with a torque wrench. We document the reading on your photo record.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible caps collect debris in the mesh profile. The 5/8-inch spark arrestor mesh on Olympia Chimney’s mid-profile caps traps fir needles and maple samaras common to Olympia’s Westside and Eastside neighborhoods. Left unchecked, this chokes draft and forces smoke back into the firebox. We remove the cap, ultrasonic-clean the mesh where possible, and replace if the wire is fatigued. For heavy tree cover we spec a raised lid or larger mesh if code allows.
• Olympia Chimney HeatShield-compatible refractory panels spall from thermal shock. The factory panels in Olympia Chimney’s zero-clearance fireplace systems crack when homeowners burn below the manufacturer’s minimum 12-inch log length or overload with pine from the Capitol State Forest. We assess spalling depth with a pin gauge; shallow surface loss gets a HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing, deep cracks get a factory panel swap. We only quote after the camera shows us the full damage pattern.
• Olympia Chimney DuraFlex liner sleeves separate at the seam in high-heat appliances. The standard DuraFlex 316Ti sleeves that Olympia Chimney bundles with wood stove inserts can open at the spiral lock-seam when operated above 650°F sustained. We spot this with the camera as a hairline gap at 10-12 o’clock in the flue. Our repair: cut back to sound metal, install a DuraFlex factory coupling, and pressure-test at 15 inches water column. No patch jobs on liner seams.
• Olympia Chimney Famco damper frames warp from creosote-induced corrosion. The cast iron Famco dampers spec’d in older Olympia Chimney rebuild kits develop a sag in the frame plate when Class III glazed creosote sits through the off-season. The damper won’t seat fully, and you lose conditioned air up the flue all summer. We remove the damper, machine the frame true or replace with a stainless steel pivot assembly, and show you the before-and-after seat pattern on camera.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers 24/7. We ask the appliance type, fuel, last service date, and any symptoms. We quote a flat inspection-and-sweep range before booking.
2. 2
   Tech arrival and site review. Your assigned technician texts when en route, arrives in uniform, and walks the roofline and hearth with you. Corrine Halstead trains every tech to name what they see before they name what it costs.
3. 3
   Camera-scan inspection (NFPA 211 Level 2). The camera goes in first. Everything else follows from what it finds. We record flue condition, liner integrity, creosote class, and any Olympia Chimney component wear. You watch the feed in real time if you want.
4. 4
   Written price and scope. Before any tool touches the flue, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty under Haven Standard Clause 1. No verbal estimates. No scope creep.
5. 5
   Sweep and repair. We remove creosote with rotary whips and hand tools matched to your flue diameter, replace any failed Olympia Chimney parts with OEM or quality aftermarket from our DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield inventory, and torque to spec.
6. 6
   Documentation and closeout. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a photo record on every job. You get the camera footage, sweep readings, part numbers installed, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we leave.
