How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid equipment. Most of what we find isn’t a manufacturing defect; it’s what fifteen years of Westchester winters and wet, acidic flue gas do to metal and mortar. That said, certain patterns repeat, and knowing them is the difference between a $229 sweep and a $4,000 rebuild you didn’t need yet.

• Stainless steel liners (Olympia’s 316L alloy): We find pitting and pinholing at the first 18 to 24 inches above the appliance outlet, where condensation sits longest. A camera scan shows it as speckled corrosion. If it’s caught early, a section replacement or resleeve is usually enough; if ignored, it becomes a full liner replacement.
• Olympia rigid chimney pipe (double-wall, wood-burning): The inner wall warps under repeated over-firing, especially in older Yonkers colonials where homeowners run newspapers or soft pine to start fires. The telltale sign is a hairline seam separation up top. We torque-check the joints and replace warped sections before they pull apart.
• Olympia masonry caps and crowns: Hairline cracks from freeze-thaw cycles are common, especially on exposed roof lines along the Hudson River corridor. Water seeps in, freezes, and spalls the crown surface. We patch with a breathable sealant when the crown’s still sound; we recast when it’s past saving.
• Creosote accumulation, Class III: Olympia systems burn hot and draft well, but that doesn’t stop glazed, tar-like creosote from forming in the smoke chamber when fires smolder. Class III is the stubborn one that hardens into a shiny crust. We remove it with rotary chains and chemical treatment, never just a wire brush.
• Draft and smoke rollout: When an Olympia firebox smokes into the room, the cause is usually a clogged or undersized flue, not the firebox itself. We measure flue diameter against the appliance’s BTU rating before recommending any liner work.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

Every job gets the same discipline, whether it’s a $199 annual sweep or a full liner replacement. Here’s what happens when you call us about an Olympia Chimney system in Yonkers:

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. Live phone support runs 24/7. We ask what you’re burning, when the last sweep happened, and whether you’ve noticed smoke or odors.
2. 2
   We inspect with a camera first. The technician runs an NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scan down the flue before touching a brush. This is Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, and we’ve done it on every job since 2009.
3. 3
   We name what we found and what it costs. Creosote class, liner condition, crown integrity: it all goes into a written scope with a written price. You decide before any work starts.
4. 4
   We sweep, clean, and document. The sweep itself is thorough but not rushed: interior firebox cleaning, smoke chamber brushing, flue scrubbing, and cap inspection.
5. 5
   We run the camera again after. You see the before and the after. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither does the quote.
6. 6
   You get the photo record and the warranty. Photos, readings, written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise are stamped on every job.

Why Yonkers Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Yonkers for Olympia Chimney Work

We’re not the oldest company in Westchester, and we don’t trade on that. We trade on evidence. Corrine Halstead grew up in the Bronx, picked up her first wire brush in a vocational program at Bronx Community College, and has spent the better part of two decades running cameras and writing prices across Westchester County and Yonkers. Every sweep includes a documented photo record, a written scope, and a written warranty before work begins. If we recommend a liner, we show you the pinholes on screen. If a competitor’s quote looks off, bring it to us for a free second opinion. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed; they know Olympia Chimney systems, and they’re equally honest when a DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco product is a better fit for the job. Call (551) 212-3526 and talk to a person, not a phone tree.
