Call (856) 543-2929

This page is for Olympia Chimney owners in Cherry Hill, especially in older neighborhoods like Barclay Farm and Kingston Estates, where the combination of mature trees, freeze-thaw cycles, and decades of use creates specific wear patterns in these systems. If you smell smoke in the house, see black buildup above the firebox, or can’t remember the last time a camera went up your flue, call us at (856) 543-2929. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner collars loosen in Cherry Hill’s clay-heavy soil. The freeze-thaw cycle through Camden County winters shifts the chimney structure microscopically year after year. On Olympia’s 316Ti flexible liner systems, the compression-fit collar at the thimble can work loose after 8-12 seasons. We find this most often in Barclay Farm colonials where the original clay flue was relined in the 1990s or 2000s. Our fix: remove the collar, reseat with a mechanical-lock fitting rather than relying on compression alone, and pressure-test before we leave. The chimney either draws the way it should, or it does not - and we will not leave until we know which.
• Olympia Chimney’s Pro-Formance 304 alloy liners develop pinpoint corrosion near the smoke shelf. The 304-grade stainless works fine for wood-burning, but in Cherry Hill we see a lot of converted gas inserts venting into liners never designed for condensing flue gases. The moisture collects at the smoke shelf where the liner terminates, and pinholes form from the inside out. We catch this with our Level 2 camera. Fix: section-replace with 316Ti or AL29-4C alloy if the damage is localized; full replacement only if the corrosion pattern is widespread. We document both options with photos and a plain-English verdict.
• Olympia Chimney’s Gelco-compatible caps clog with maple and oak debris from Cherry Hill’s mature canopy. The mesh on standard Olympia caps is 5/8-inch, fine enough to keep animals out but not fine enough to stop wet leaf pulp from Kingston Estates’ red oaks. Every October we pull caps packed solid. Fix: upgrade to a Gelco 3/4-inch mesh with a raised lid for better airflow, or add a secondary spark arrestor if you’re in a heavy debris zone. We carry both on the truck.
• Olympia Chimney’s factory-built chimney sections separate at the twist-lock joints after thermal cycling. The Pro-Formance and Select series use twist-lock stainless sections that expand and contract differently than the surrounding chase. After 15-20 years of Cherry Hill winters, the locking tabs fatigue. We hear the telltale rattle during a Level 1 inspection. Fix: disassemble to the sound section, replace fatigued joints with DuraFlex locking bands for a mechanical connection that won’t back out, and reseal the chase crown with HeatShield CrownCoat.
• Olympia Chimney’s poured refractory panels crack from rapid temperature swings. Cherry Hill homeowners who use their fireplace only for holiday gatherings build a roaring fire in a cold box. The Olympia factory panels, especially in the 36-inch and 42-inch boxes, can’t handle the shock. We find hairline cracks that don’t show from the hearth but open under camera inspection. Fix: minor cracks get HeatShield Cerfractory foam resurfacing; through-cracks get panel replacement with OEM or upgraded refractory. We show you the camera image and explain which side of the line you’re on.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. We ask what you’re burning, how often, what you’re seeing or smelling, and whether you have your last inspection report. We schedule a window that works for you - no 8-hour waits.
2. 2
   Our technician arrives uniformed, background-checked, with the Olympia Chimney parts book on his tablet. He lays drop cloths, inspects the firebox and exterior for obvious damage, then runs a Level 1 or Level 2 inspection based on what we discussed.
3. 3
   Camera goes up the flue. For Level 2 work, we document every joint, every liner section, every smoke shelf condition with photos you can see on the spot. If we find an Olympia-specific issue - loose collar, corroded section, fatigued twist-lock - we show you the exact part number and explain OEM versus quality aftermarket options from our DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco inventory.
4. 4
   You get a plain-English verdict and upfront price. No recommendation without camera evidence. If the flue is sound, we tell you it’s sound. If work is needed, we explain why, what it costs, and what happens if you defer it. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
5. 5
   We complete the sweep, repair, or replacement in the same visit when possible. Most Olympia Chimney cleaning and minor repairs finish in under three hours. We pressure-test or smoke-test before cleanup, then leave your hearth cleaner than we found it.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise goes in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to dig up, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard.
