How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid stainless steel liner systems and caps, but no chimney component is set-and-forget, especially in Woodland Hills. Here’s what Cory Mitchell and our techs actually see on Olympia jobs:

• Olympia 316L flexible liner creosote adhesion at the corrugation valleys. The flex liner’s ridged profile creates micro-eddies in the flue gas, which deposit creosote (the flammable tar buildup that makes chimneys a fire risk) faster than a smooth-wall liner. In Woodland Hills, where December fireplace use spikes, we regularly see stage-two glazing inside Olympia flex liners after just two burn seasons. Our fix is a rotary whip sweep followed by a camera pass to confirm the valleys are clean, not just the crowns.
• Olympia round top damper pivot seizing from coastal moisture and ash dust. The damper sits at the flue termination, exposed to morning marine layer humidity that drifts into the west Valley. When the pivot corrodes or packs with ash, the cable pulls stiff and eventually fails. We disassemble, clean, and lubricate the pivot during a standard sweep, and we’ll tell you honestly if the damper is past saving.
• Olympia multi-flue cap mesh clogging on Woodland Hills hillside homes. Homes up near Topanga and the Santa Monica foothills get real leaf and pine needle drop. The mesh on Olympia multi-flue caps catches debris, reduces draft, and forces smoke back into the house. During a sweep we remove and clear the cap mesh, and if your cap is undersized for the flue tile, we’ll show you in the photo report.
• Poor draft traced to Olympia liner sizing mismatches from the original install. Some Woodland Hills tract homes got liners sized to the fireplace opening, not the appliance BTU rating. The result is a lazy draft that lets creosote condense on the liner wall. Our techs measure flue gas temperature and draft performance during the sweep, then tell you whether a liner adjustment is warranted or whether the existing Olympia liner just needs a proper cleaning schedule.
• Warranty-safe maintenance that keeps your Olympia warranty intact. Olympia requires documented annual maintenance for warranty coverage on most liner systems. We photograph everything, note it on your digital invoice, and hand you a service record that satisfies manufacturer documentation requirements. No guessing, no “trust us.”

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Process

Here’s what happens when you book, what the tech checks, and what the photos will show you:

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. No voicemail loops. We ask about your fireplace, your last sweep, and anything weird you’ve noticed. We book a tracked arrival window so you’re not waiting on a four-hour guess.
2. 2
   The tech arrives, drops floor protection, and runs a pre-sweep camera inspection. Before a brush touches the flue, we send the camera up to document the liner condition, creosote stage, and any obstructions. You see what we see.
3. 3
   We sweep to spec. Depending on your Olympia liner type, we use brushes, whips, or a combination, sized to the flue diameter. We’re careful with flex liners because aggressive oversized brushes can damage the corrugations.
4. 4
   Post-sweep camera pass and photo report. We film the flue again and compare the before and after. If we find liner damage, water intrusion, or a cap problem, we show you on phone before we recommend a dime of extra work.
5. 5
   Written price for any recommended work, before anything else is done. If the sweep reveals a repair, you get a separate, written quote. You approve it or you don’t. The sweep price doesn’t change.
6. 6
   Digital invoice, warranty record, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on any repair. If something we fix fails within a year, we come back free. That’s not a promotion; it’s how we’ve operated since 2003.
