How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney HY-C stainless caps clog with creosote faster than mesh-rated alternatives. The HY-C line uses a tighter weave that traps Class II and III creosote in Waltham’s freeze-thaw cycles, especially on north-facing flues. We remove the cap, ultrasonic-clean or replace it with a Gelco equivalent that sheds buildup, and document the flue condition underneath per Haven Standard Clause 4.
• Olympia Chimney DuraFlex relining sleeves separate at the seam in high-heat fireplaces. The DuraFlex Pro series we encounter in Waltham’s 1920s colonials near Warrendale sometimes shows sleeve lift after aggressive burning of unseasoned hardwood. We camera-locate the separation, pull a new section if it’s within the first 15 feet, or recommend a full Olympia Chimney reline if the damage runs past the smoke chamber.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco top-sealing dampers lose their seal when creosote cakes the frame. The cast-aluminum throat on Gelco dampers binds when Waltham’s humid summers set the residue. We disassemble, clean the track with rotary tools, and reseat the damper - or swap in a new assembly if the hinge pin has corroded, which we see after about 8-10 years in this climate.
• Olympia Chimney Famco chimney fans stall from soot loading on the impeller blades. The Famco 507 series moves air well but doesn’t tolerate deferred sweeping. We pull the fan, clean the housing and blades, test amperage draw against spec, and only reinstall if the motor runs within 10% of factory rating. If not, we source replacement through our Haven buying network.
• Olympia Chimney Copperfield chase covers pool water at the corners after 12-15 years. The galvanized-to-copper transition on older Copperfield covers in Waltham’s snow-belt neighborhoods rusts through at the drip edge. We document the leak path with the camera, fabricate a replacement from heavier-gauge material, and seal the new chase cover to the existing Olympia Chimney flue with proper storm collar geometry.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Schedule and prep. You call (781) 649-9326, a live person answers, and we book a window. We text when the tech is en route with name and photo.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. Camera down the flue, top to bottom. We record liner condition, creosote class, and any Olympia Chimney-specific wear patterns. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. Before any work starts, you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1 - have it in writing. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Sweep and service. Rotary cleaning for creosote and soot removal, component-specific work on your Olympia Chimney cap, damper, or fan. OEM parts when available, quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco when they’re not.
5. 5
   Test and document. Post-sweep camera run confirms clear flue. Photos, readings, and completed scope go into your record. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires this archive.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. The warranty is stamped and dated.
