Call (914) 603-1360

This page is for Olympia Chimney owners in White Plains who want their system inspected, swept, or diagnosed by technicians who know the difference between an Olympia 316Ti flexible liner and a generic knockoff. If you are burning season is approaching and you want certainty about what shape your chimney is in, call (914) 603-1360. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liner collars work loose in freeze-thaw cycles. White Plains winters push water into the gap between liner collar and flue tile, then the January cold contracts the metal. By March the collar has shifted enough to snag a sweep brush or create a creosote pocket we cannot reach with standard rods. We spot this with our camera before the brush goes in, then reseat or replace the collar with Olympia-compatible hardware rather than forcing the sweep through and leaving debris behind.
• Olympia Pro-Blend mortar crowns crack along the pour seam. This is not a liner issue, but it destroys the liner from above. Water enters through the crown crack, runs down the flue, and mixes with creosote to form sulfuric acid that eats the 316Ti from the outside in. During a sweep we inspect the crown with a pole camera; if we find this pattern, we stop and show you the photo before we finish the cleaning. Crown repair with HeatShield or a Gelco cap installation protects the liner you already paid for.
• Olympia smooth-wall liner elbows accumulate creosote at the bend. The 30-degree and 45-degree elbows used in Olympia offset installations have a slightly tighter radius than DuraFlex equivalents. Creosote builds in a ridge at the inner curve, especially with improperly seasoned oak or maple, which is what most White Plains homeowners burn. Our rotary cleaning system with a custom-sized poly brush follows the elbow contour without scoring the stainless wall, something a standard wire brush will do.
• Olympia telescoping liner sections separate in tall flues. In the three-story colonials near Gedney Farm and the older homes off North Street, the combined flue height can exceed 35 feet. Olympia’s telescoping joint is designed to compress during installation, but thermal cycling over years can walk it apart. A Level 2 inspection catches the gap; if we find it during a sweep, we document it, explain whether it is urgent or monitorable, and quote reconnection with a proper Olympia expansion joint if needed.
• Olympia chimney cap spark arrestors clog with catalytic creosote flakes. The mesh on Olympia’s standard cap is finer than aftermarket equivalents, which is good for ember containment but bad when flakes from a neglected flue lodge in the screen. The result is a smoky fireplace and a homeowner who thinks the flue is blocked lower down. We remove the cap during sweep service, clean the arrestor with a soft-bristle rotary tool, and tell you honestly whether the cap design is right for your burning habits or whether a Gelco cap with wider mesh and a better rain skirt makes more sense.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call intake with model details. When you call (914) 603-1360, we ask for your Olympia Chimney model or liner series if you know it, plus the age of the system and any symptoms. This lets us load the right brush diameter and camera head before we leave the shop.
2. 2
   Level 1 or Level 2 camera inspection first. We do not sweep blind. Our technician runs a color camera the full flue length, records stills of every joint, collar, elbow, and the cap interface. You see the images on a tablet while we explain what we are looking at.
3. 3
   Plain-English verdict and upfront pricing. If the flue is sound and only needs sweeping, we quote the sweep price and start. If we find a separated joint, cracked crown, or collar issue, we explain the repair, show you the photo evidence, and quote the additional work before anything changes.
4. 4
   OEM or quality aftermarket repair, your choice. For Olympia liner repairs we stock Olympia-compatible collars, expansion joints, and cap hardware. We also carry DuraFlex and HeatShield alternatives where they fit and perform equivalently. We tell you which is which and why we would use it, never substituting without your knowledge.
5. 5
   Sweep, test, and documentation. We complete the sweep with rotary or manual methods matched to your liner type, run a final camera pass to confirm the flue is clean and intact, and draft-test the system under operating conditions. You receive a written report with photos and our findings.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we touched is not right, we come back and make it right. In writing, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Costs in White Plains

These are the price ranges we see for typical Olympia Chimney service calls in White Plains. The final number depends on flue height, accessibility, and what the camera finds.

What moves the price: flue height over 25 feet, offset elbows that require specialized brushes, and the condition of the creosote (powder sweeps fast; glazed layers do not). We agree on the full price before we start. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Call (914) 603-1360 for a free estimate.
