How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liners in the OF Series develop circumferential cracking near the thimble connection in Manassas homes with oil-to-gas conversions. The original 316Ti alloy handles dry wood smoke well but cycles poorly against the acidic condensate of modern high-efficiency gas appliances. We replace with Olympia’s 316Ti only when the appliance and venting profile match; otherwise we spec DuraFlex 316L or 904L with better acid resistance, always matching the collar and termination exactly.
• Olympia Chimney rigid 304 stainless tee sections in the OR Series collect creosote at the snout in older Manassas colonials with exterior masonry chimneys. The tee sits in a cold external chase, condensation runs back, and the snout corrodes from the inside out. We pull the tee, inspect the surrounding courses with a camera, and either weld-repair with matching 304 filler or replace the full tee and reposition for better draft dynamics.
• Olympia Chimney HeatShield-compatible refractory flue liners in the ORF Series spall and lose their ceramic bond after fifteen to twenty winters of Prince William County freeze-thaw. The refractory was never designed for the number of deep cycles Manassas sees in a typical January. We evaluate retained thickness with a laser gauge; if the shell is under 3/8 inch we remove and reline with a stainless insert or apply HeatShield Cerfractory Foam depending on clearance and appliance type.
• Olympia Chimney top-mount dampers integrated with their chase covers seize in the open position after a decade of pollen, oak catkins, and the particular red clay dust that blows off Manassas construction sites each spring. The damper motor or chain drive fails, and the homeowner loses the energy savings that justified the original install. We disassemble, clean the trackway with a brass wire wheel, replace the actuator with OEM or a Famco equivalent, and reseal the chase cover perimeter with Gelco flashing compound.
• Olympia Chimney oval-to-round adaptors in the OFO Series pull loose from the appliance collar in Manassas ranch homes with basement installations where the horizontal run exceeds six feet. Thermal expansion works the joint every firing cycle, and the original clamp was never torqued for that stress. We reinstall with a proper draw band, add a support bracket at the midpoint, and sometimes upsize the flexible section to reduce friction loss - always documented in the photos we send you.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We book a Level-2 camera inspection with photo report, usually within a few days of your call.
2. 2
   On-site diagnosis. Our technician runs a camera the full length of your Olympia Chimney flue, photographs every joint, course, and connection, and records flue gas temperature and draft pressure. You see the footage in real time.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We specify Olympia Chimney OEM components where they fit the application and warranty requirements, or we cross to DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco where metallurgy or geometry demands it. We explain the trade-off in plain English before you approve.
4. 4
   Repair or rebuild. Liner replacements we typically complete in one visit. Partial rebuilds of the upper courses take a day; full rebuilds with scaffolding and weather delays run two to three days. Technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and clean the work area before leaving.
5. 5
   Post-job testing. We run a smoke test or draft gauge verification, depending on the work performed, and confirm proper clearances to combustibles.
6. 6
   Documentation and guarantee. You receive dated photos, a plain-English verdict, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
