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 Liner & Rebuild in Chesterbrook: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney liner and rebuild service in Chesterbrook, with most liner replacements completed in one day and full rebuilds scheduled within a week of your camera inspection. Every job starts with a written price before any work begins - no exceptions, no surprises after we’re on the roof. If you own an Olympia Chimney liner system and you’re seeing water stains, drafting problems, or suspect liner failure, call (484) 806-9176. We’ll send a uniformed tech with a camera, a background check, and a written scope.
This page is for Chesterbrook homeowners who bought a property with an existing Olympia Chimney liner, or who are weighing whether to stick with Olympia parts or move to a compatible aftermarket solution. We’ve inspected and repaired these systems across the Main Line since 2009.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liners develop seam separation at the flex points, especially in Chesterbrook’s freeze-thaw cycles where the clay flue expands against the liner every winter. The 316Ti alloy is corrosion-resistant but not immune to mechanical fatigue at the corrugations. We cut back to sound metal and splice in a DuraFlex 316Ti section with an expansion joint, or replace the full run if the damage is distributed.
- Olympia Chimney rigid 304 stainless elbows pit at the weld seams after seven to ten years of wet wood burning, which is common in this area where homeowners burn seasoned hardwood inconsistently. The pitting starts microscopic and opens into through-wall corrosion. We sleeve with a HeatShield cerfractory flue sealant application if the pitting is shallow and localized, or pull the rigid run and replace with a flexible liner if the damage is extensive.
- Olympia Chimney top-sealing dampers lose their silicone gasket integrity on the 2000-series models, letting cold air dump down the flue and accelerating liner condensation. The gasket isn’t sold separately by Olympia, so we either machine-fit a compatible Famco replacement or upgrade to a Gelco Lyemance damper with a stainless frame.
- Olympia Chimney poured-in-place liner systems (the PIP series) shrink away from the flue wall in older Chesterbrook homes with unlined brick chimneys built before 1960. The gap collects acidic condensate that spalls the brick from the inside. We remove the failed pour, camera-map the damage, and rebuild with a stainless flex liner and proper insulation blanket per NFPA 211.
- Olympia Chimney chimney caps with the integrated spark arrestor mesh clog with creosote faster than standalone caps, restricting draft and causing smoke backup into the firebox. The mesh is spot-welded and can’t be cleaned without distorting it. We replace with a Copperfield cap with a removable screen that we can pull and burn off during routine service.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

- 1
Camera inspection and documentation. We run a chimney-scan camera the full length of your Olympia Chimney flue system, recording every seam, joint, and surface condition. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job - we’ve done it since 2009.
- 2
Written findings and price. Corrine Halstead or a senior tech writes the condition report, measurements, and exact scope with a fixed price before any conversation about scheduling. The camera doesn’t soften the finding. Neither do I.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. We stock Olympia Chimney-compatible components through our Haven buying network, but we’ll quote DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco alternatives when they outperform the original spec or when Olympia lead times stretch past burning season.
- 4
Repair or rebuild execution. Liner pulls happen from the top down with rope and cone protection for your roof and landscaping. Full rebuilds get staged material-by-material with daily photo progress.
- 5
Post-repair camera verification and draft test. We re-run the camera to confirm liner seating and joint integrity, then perform a smoke-pencil draft test at the firebox opening.
- 6
Documentation package and warranty registration. You receive the photo record, written scope, and 365-Day Done Right Promise documentation before we pack tools.

Why Chesterbrook Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Chesterbrook for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve pulled Olympia Chimney liners from homes along the Chesterbrook Corporate Center corridor for years - the wood-burning setups here get heavy use through Pennsylvania winters, and we know which model years show which failure patterns. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and assigned by name; you get a text when yours is en route. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise and the documented photo record required by Haven Standard Clause 4. When Olympia parts are back-ordered, we source same-spec DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco components through our Haven buying network rather than leave you without heat. We’re independently owned and operated - not a franchise, not affiliated with Olympia Chimney - and our license number is on every page we publish.
FAQs
No - but understand that Olympia Chimney’s limited warranty covers manufacturing defects, not installation or wear-related failure, and it requires proof of professional maintenance. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we document every service with dated photos and written scope, which satisfies most manufacturer warranty claim requirements. Call (484) 806-9176 and we’ll review your specific warranty terms during the free estimate.
Most flex liner replacements are completed in one working day; full rebuilds with liner installation typically run two to four days depending on weather and permit timing. We schedule after your camera inspection and written approval - never start work without both. Call (484) 806-9176 to check current availability.
Repair makes sense when damage is localized and accessible - a single damaged elbow, a separable joint, minor pitting addressable with HeatShield cerfractory sealant. Replacement is the honest recommendation when corrosion is distributed, when the liner has exceeded 15 years of service, or when multiple repair points would cost more than a new run. We show you the camera footage and both prices; you decide. Call (484) 806-9176 for a free camera inspection and written comparison.
We stock common Olympia Chimney components and source through our Haven buying network, but we don’t wait on backorders when a DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco equivalent meets or exceeds the original specification. We’ll show you both options with prices and lead times before you decide. Call (484) 806-9176 to discuss what’s in stock for your model.
A failed liner lets combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, leak into wall cavities and living spaces; in Chesterbrook’s older homes with balloon framing, that migration path is direct. Delay also exposes the original masonry to acidic condensate, turning a liner job into a full rebuild. We don’t scare-sell - we’ll show you the camera evidence and tell you plainly which conditions can wait a season and which can’t. Call (484) 806-9176 for an honest assessment.
