How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner separation at collar joints. The 316Ti flexible liners, especially in the OFP series installed in Wakefield homes during the 2005-2015 pellet stove boom, can develop gaps where the collar meets the flex section. We’ve found this happens faster in lakeside homes where indoor humidity runs higher and condensation accelerates corrosion at the seam. We cut back to sound metal, install a proper Olympia-compatible collar or transition to DuraFlex if the homeowner prefers, and seal with high-temp silicone rated for the appliance class.
• Olympia Chimney rigid liner spalling in oil-to-gas conversions. The OR series rigid liners don’t always handle the lower flue temperatures of modern gas appliances - acidic condensation sits instead of evaporating. In Wakefield, we see this most in 1950s capes that converted from oil in the last decade. The liner interior develops pinholes that a basic sweep misses. We pull a camera, document the damage, and replace with an appropriately sized flexible liner or a properly insulated rigid run depending on the chimney chase.
• Olympia Chimney terra cotta flue liner supporting a stainless insert. Some Wakefield contractors installed Olympia stainless inserts without removing the damaged terra cotta underneath, leaving the old liner to crumble and block the air gap. The symptom is a “cold” fireplace that won’t draw - what Russell Haines calls a chimney that works until it doesn’t. We remove both layers, inspect the wythe for integrity, and install a correctly sized Olympia or Gelco liner with proper top and bottom termination.
• Olympia Chimney top plate and rain cap galvanic corrosion. The original equipment top plates on older Olympia installs used aluminum where they contacted stainless, and Wakefield’s freeze-thaw cycles with road salt aerosol speed the galvanic reaction. The cap loosens, water enters, and the liner floods. We replace with Copperfield or Famco stainless top assemblies, properly isolated, and reflash the crown if needed.
• Olympia Chimney partial rebuilds after liner failure. When a liner has leaked long enough, the surrounding brick and mortar in Wakefield’s older chimneys - especially the soft salmon brick common north of downtown - turns to powder. A liner-only fix leaves a shell that won’t last. We rebuild the affected courses with matching brick where possible, repoint with type N mortar suited to our climate, and install the new liner as a system, not a bandage.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks the right questions about your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a Level-2 inspection. We don’t quote blind over the phone.
2. 2
   Camera inspection with photo report. Our tech runs a camera the full flue length, top to bottom. You see the footage on site, or we email it with a plain-English verdict: what’s failing, why it’s failing, and what happens if you wait.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM Olympia Chimney or quality aftermarket. If your liner is under warranty, we use Olympia parts to protect that coverage. If not, we quote DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco alternatives - same or better spec, sometimes faster availability. No upsell to a more expensive brand unless there’s a technical reason.
4. 4
   Repair or rebuild with single-visit completion. Our trucks carry the common Olympia Chimney liner diameters and rebuild materials. Most liner replacements and partial rebuilds finish in one day. We protect your floors, work clean, and haul away the old liner.
5. 5
   Post-job test and documentation. We pressure-test or smoke-test the new assembly, verify draft, and photograph the completed work. You get the photos, a written summary, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing.
6. 6
   Follow-up if needed. If anything isn’t drawing or sealing correctly, we come back. That’s the promise.
