Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterOlympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Cherry Hill: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney liner and rebuild service throughout Cherry Hill, with most liner replacements and partial rebuilds completed in a single visit. A typical stainless steel liner installation for an Olympia system runs between $2,800 and $4,500 depending on height and access, while a full chimney rebuild starts around $6,500. We do not quote over the phone for rebuilds - every job starts with a Level-2 camera inspection so you see what we see, and the price we agree to is the price on the invoice.
This page is for homeowners in Cherry Hill, Barclay Farm, and nearby who own an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or component and need straight talk about whether it can be repaired or needs replacement. If your fireplace is smoking into the room, your liner has visible gaps in the camera feed, or a previous contractor mentioned “relining” without showing you why, 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 liners (3000-series flex): We see these separating at the collar joint in Cherry Hill colonials with exterior chase enclosures, especially after freeze-thaw cycles. The 3000-series flex uses a lighter-gauge interlock than comparable DuraFlex, and the collar can work loose where the liner meets the appliance adapter. We reseat with an OEM collar or upgrade to a heavier-gauge DuraFlex transition when the chase height exceeds 25 feet.
- Olympia rigid liner systems (5000-series): Condensation corrosion at the first offset above the smoke chamber. These rigid sections don’t drain condensate as readily as flex, and in Cherry Hill’s humid shoulder seasons, water pools at the elbow. We pull the affected section, inspect the surrounding masonry for spalling, and either replace with a properly sloped Olympia rigid section or convert to a sloped flex run if the offset geometry allows.
- Olympia Gelco-compatible caps and chase covers: The galvanized steel chase covers on older Olympia systems (pre-2010) rust through at the center seam in 12 to 15 years - faster than the 20-year rating suggests, in our experience, because Cherry Hill’s tree cover holds moisture against the metal. Water then runs down the flue and destroys the liner from the outside in. We replace with a Gelco stainless chase cover and inspect the liner for water damage before capping.
- Olympia HeatShield-compatible refractory flue repairs: When an Olympia liner has minor joint gaps but sound structure, some owners assume full replacement is the only option. If the flue passes a NFPA 211 Level-2 and the gaps are under 1/4 inch, we can apply HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing, which carries a 20-year warranty and costs roughly half of a stainless reline. We only recommend this when the existing clay flue is structurally sound - never as a shortcut.
- Olympia top-sealing dampers integrated with liner systems: The cable housing corrodes where it exits the flue, causing the damper to stick partially open or closed. A stuck-open damper in a Cherry Hill winter costs you serious heat loss; stuck-closed is a carbon monoxide risk. We replace the cable assembly with an Olympia-compatible Famco unit or convert to a lock-top damper if the throat is accessible.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We book a two-hour arrival window - no “sometime between 8 and 5.”
- 2
Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician runs a camera the full length of your Olympia flue, photographs every joint, offset, and the smoke chamber. You watch the feed in real time. We explain what we see in plain English - no jargon, no scare tactics.
- 3
Parts decision. If your Olympia liner needs replacement, we specify OEM Olympia components where they make sense (standard collars, listed adapters) or cross-reference to DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco when the application calls for heavier gauge or better local availability. We tell you which we’re using and why.
- 4
Repair or rebuild. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most liner replacements in one visit. Full rebuilds may require a second day for cure time on masonry. We protect floors and furniture, and we clean up after ourselves.
- 5
Post-job testing. We run a smoke test or draft gauge check to verify proper draw. The chimney either draws the way it should, or it does not - and we will not leave until we know which.
- 6
Documentation and guarantee. You receive photos from before and after, a written summary of work performed, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back.

Why Cherry Hill Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve served Cherry Hill for over 42 years. Russell Haines and our crew know the local housing stock - the 1960s colonials in Barclay Farm with their original clay flues, the 1980s builds with early stainless liners that are now at end of life. We document every inspection with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we make it right - in writing, no arguing, no paperwork chase.
We work with professional-grade materials from Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield - never builder-grade substitutes that fail in five years. Most jobs finish in a single visit. And when you call (856) 543-2929, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, every day.
FAQs
No - provided the work is performed by a qualified professional using listed components. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use OEM or compatible listed parts (DuraFlex, Gelco, HeatShield) and document the installation to protect any remaining warranty coverage. Call (856) 543-2929 and we’ll review your specific model’s warranty terms before we start.
Yes - we stock common Olympia collars, adapters, and flex sections, and we cross-reference to DuraFlex and Gelco equivalents for discontinued lines. For a 1990s Olympia rigid system, we may recommend a full flex conversion if OEM sections are no longer manufactured. We’ll tell you honestly which path costs less over the life of the system.
The camera tells the story. Isolated joint gaps or a single corroded section often means repair; multiple fractures, vertical cracking, or delamination means replacement. We show you the footage and explain which category you’re in. If the work can safely wait a season, we say so - no pressure. Call (856) 543-2929 for a free inspection.
Most stainless flex liner replacements in Cherry Hill homes are completed in four to six hours. Rigid systems or jobs with difficult roof access may run longer. Full rebuilds with liner replacement typically take one to two days. We give you a clear time estimate before we start, and we arrive when we say we will.
A compromised liner allows heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide to reach combustible framing - a real hazard, not a sales pitch. In Cherry Hill’s older homes with balloon framing, the risk is more severe. That said, if your camera inspection shows minor wear with no active leakage, we tell you so. We’re not in the business of replacing liners that still have safe service life. Call (856) 543-2929 for an honest assessment.
Ready to get your Olympia Chimney system checked? Call (856) 543-2929 now. A live person will answer, day or night, and we’ll schedule your free estimate at a time that works for you. We serve Cherry Hill, Barclay Farm, and surrounding communities - done right, and we stand behind it.
