How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner systems in Plainview’s freeze-thaw climate. The 316Ti alloy used in Olympia’s standard residential liners handles corrosion well but can suffer seam separation at the collar joints after repeated thermal cycling - something we see more often in Nassau County’s older split-levels where the chimney runs on an exterior wall and cools faster overnight. We cut back to sound metal and install a custom-fabricated transition with DuraFlex or an Olympia-compatible OEM section, then pressure-test before we leave.
• Olympia flexible liner kits in vented gas fireplace conversions. Homeowners who retrofit a gas insert into a wood-burning fireplace often use Olympia’s flexible aluminum or light-gauge stainless kits. The corrugations trap condensation in Plainview’s humid shoulder seasons, accelerating pinhole leaks at the low points. We pull the damaged run, inspect the surrounding masonry for efflorescence damage, and replace with a properly sized rigid or heavy-flex liner sloped to drain - never a patch-over.
• Olympia chimney cap and crown integration failures. The bolt-pattern on Olympia’s standard caps doesn’t always mate cleanly with third-party crown pours, leaving a gap that funnels water directly onto the liner top. We’ve rebuilt dozens of crowns in Plainview where the liner was blamed for draft problems when it was actually water infiltration degrading the connection. We fabricate a custom seal or recommend a Gelco cap with the correct Olympia adapter plate.
• Older Olympia clay flue tile systems in pre-1980s Plainview colonials. Olympia distributed high-duty refractory clay tile through the 1990s, and it’s still in many Jericho Turnpike-area homes. The tiles themselves hold up, but the mortar joints between courses crumble from the inside out - invisible until a camera goes down. We don’t spot-patch; we remove the compromised courses and install a stainless steel liner sized to the appliance, or perform a partial rebuild with new tile if the homeowner prefers a historically accurate restoration.
• Olympia Heat-Fab and early welded-seam liners. These single-wall systems were common in 1990s construction and are now at end-of-life. The longitudinal weld can crack where the liner passes through the smoke shelf, a location that catches debris and holds moisture. We document the crack location with photos, explain why a patch won’t last, and quote a full replacement with a modern insulated liner - usually same-day if we have the diameter in stock.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks about your appliance type and symptoms, and books a Level-2 inspection. We don’t guess over the phone.
2. 2
   Camera inspection and documentation. Our technician runs a high-resolution camera the full length of the flue, photographs every defect, and explains what you’re seeing in plain English before any work is discussed.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM Olympia Chimney versus quality aftermarket. We stock DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco components that meet or exceed Olympia’s specifications. If your warranty is active and requires OEM, we’ll source it; if not, we recommend the best-fit material for your application and budget - no markup games.
4. 4
   The repair or rebuild. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in a single visit. Full rebuilds may require a second day for mortar cure, but we never leave an open chimney overnight.
5. 5
   Pressure test and final documentation. We verify draft, check all connections with a smoke pencil, and provide photos of the completed work plus a written report for your records.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right, we make it right - in writing, no arguing. That’s the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.
