How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti stainless liners with seam separation in the flex joints. We see this most often in the Gedney Farm and Rosedale neighborhoods, where the clay flues were oversized for the fireplace insert and the flex liner worked too hard on every heating cycle. The titanium-stabilized alloy holds up well, but the corrugated flex sections can work-harden at the elbows after 15-20 years. We cut back to sound metal and splice in a new Olympia-compatible section, or switch to a rigid DuraFlex run if the geometry allows.
• Olympia Gelco-top chase covers pooling water behind the lid. These stamped-steel covers shed rain fine until the factory caulk bead behind the vertical lid dries out, usually around year 12 in White Plains’ freeze-thaw climate. Water gets behind, rusts the lid from the inside, and drips down onto the liner top. We reflash with copper or replace with a Gelco unit that has a welded skirt, then inspect the liner collar for acid damage.
• Olympia smooth-wall liners with spalling at the terracotta thimble interface. The smooth-wall series has less creosote adhesion, which is the selling point, but the slight diameter reduction can create turbulent flow right where the liner meets old terracotta. In White Plains colonials with exterior chimneys, that turbulence plus condensation eats the thimble. We grind back to sound clay and install a HeatShield-compatible transition, or replace the thimble and reline if the damage runs deep.
• Olympia flexible liners collapsed by chimney fire or heavy creosote fall. A chimney fire can anneal stainless steel, and a heavy creosote drop can pin a flex liner against the flue wall. The Olympia flex is UL1777 listed, but no liner survives a sustained fire intact. We pull a camera first to map the damage, then replace with either another Olympia flex or a rigid system depending on what the flue shape allows. Russell Haines has noted in his field books that the same White Plains chimneys tend to repeat this failure every 8-10 years if the burning habits don’t change.
• Olympia chimney caps with mesh degradation from coastal salt air. White Plains isn’t coastal, but the pre-war homes near the Bronx River Parkway catch enough road salt and humidity that 304-grade mesh can spot-weld shut in 7-9 years. The cap looks fine from the ground, but the restricted draft causes back-puffing and accelerated liner corrosion. We replace with 316-grade mesh or a Famco cap with a wider overhang, and check the liner crown for salt staining while we’re up there.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers at (914) 603-1360, any hour. We book a Level-2 camera inspection, not a sales visit.
2. 2
   Inspect and document. Our technician runs a camera the full length of the flue, photographs every joint, thimble, and liner section. You see the images on a tablet while we’re still on the ladder. We deliver a plain-English verdict: repair, replace, or monitor.
3. 3
   Quote with parts specified. If the job needs Olympia Chimney components, we quote OEM. If a quality aftermarket part from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco serves better, we explain why and let you decide. The price on the estimate is the price on the invoice.
4. 4
   Execute the repair. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in one visit. We pull permits when White Plains building code requires it, which is any liner change that alters the appliance connection or venting category.
5. 5
   Test and verify. We pressure-test or smoke-test every liner installation, re-run the camera to confirm clear passage, and clean the work area to the condition we found it.
6. 6
   Guarantee in writing. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the work. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork to find, no arguing.
