This page is for homeowners who already have an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or damper installed and need it cleaned, inspected, or cleared of creosote buildup. We’re not affiliated with Olympia Chimney Corporation. We are an independent Olympia Chimney service provider with no manufacturer authorization, which means we work on what’s actually in your flue, not what a warranty department wishes was there.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liner creosote bridging. The 316Ti series uses a corrugated interior that traps more creosote in the valleys than smoother-walled competitors, especially in Paterson where homeowners burn seasoned hardwood shorter hours per day, creating cooler flue temps. We remove bridging with rotary poly brushes sized to the corrugation depth, then run a camera to confirm the valleys are clean. If the liner has pulled away from the collar, we document it and show you before recommending a re-attachment or replacement.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style cap mesh clogging from pin oak debris. Paterson’s pin oaks and Norway maples shed fine debris that packs into the 5/8-inch mesh on Olympia Chimney’s standard cap designs faster than coarser competitor mesh. We clean the mesh with compressed air and a soft-bristle detail brush, then check that the spark arrestor hasn’t warped from repeated heating cycles. If the mesh is solder-fatigued, we source direct-fit replacement screen rather than selling you a whole new cap assembly.
• Olympia Chimney rigid flue adapter corrosion at the cleanout tee. The 304-to-316 transition joints in older Olympia Chimney rigid systems sweat condensation at the cleanout tee, particularly in Paterson’s freeze-thaw climate where exterior chimneys stay cold longer into burning season. We pull the tee, wire-brush the joint, and reseal with HeatShield Cerfractory foam if the metal is sound, or quote a DuraFlex replacement section if pitting has compromised the wall thickness.
• Olympia Chimney top-sealing damper cable freeze-up. The cast-aluminum damper bodies seal well when new, but the stainless cable housing collects creosote drip that gums the mechanism by February in Paterson. We disassemble the cable guide, clean with solvent and a bore brush, then lubricate with high-temp graphite. If the cast body has cracked from thermal shock - common in systems where owners forget to open the damper before lighting - we carry replacement Olympia Chimney dampers and can swap one in the same visit.
• Olympia Chimney oval-to-round transition creosote pooling. The crimped oval transitions used in masonry fireplace retrofits create a flat spot where creosote pools, especially when the fireplace is deep-set in Paterson’s pre-war brick homes. We use a custom-bent scraper to address the flat spot, then verify with camera that no glaze remains. If the transition has sagged from inadequate support, we install a proper support plate from the Olympia Chimney catalog or fabricate one from heavier-gauge stock.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks what you’re burning, how often, and whether you’ve noticed draft issues or odors. We quote a price range before we book.
2. 2
   Arrival and protection. Our technician arrives in uniform, lays runners from the door to the hearth, and inspects the Olympia Chimney components visible without tools - cap condition, damper operation, hearth clearance.
3. 3
   Level 1 or Level 2 inspection. Most sweeps get a Level 1 visual inspection. If we find creosote buildup beyond 1/8 inch, suspect hidden damage, or you’re buying or selling the Paterson home, we recommend Level 2: camera inspection from top and bottom, with photos you see on the spot and a plain-English verdict.
4. 4
   Sweep and component cleaning. We match brush type to your Olympia Chimney liner material - poly for 316Ti flexible, wire for rigid 304, hand scrapers for transitions. The damper, smoke shelf, and firebox get cleaned. Debris is HEPA-vacuumed, not brushed onto your floor.
5. 5
   Parts decision and repair. If we find a failed component, we show you the photo, explain OEM versus quality aftermarket options (we stock Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco parts), and quote before proceeding. No surprises on the bill.
6. 6
   Test and documentation. We run a draft test, verify damper operation, and leave you with a written inspection report and the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we come back. In writing, no arguing.
