How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner collars loosen in freeze-thaw cycles. Arlington Heights winters hit hard - the expansion and contraction between November and March works the collar fasteners on Olympia’s 316Ti flexible liners loose at the top plate. We find gaps that let condensation run behind the liner, rusting the adjacent flue wall. Our fix: pull the collar, reseat with high-temp silicone and mechanical fasteners, then camera-verify the seal before we sign off.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-manufactured chase covers pool water at the corners. The Gelco-sourced covers on Olympia’s factory builds have a known low spot where the cross-break meets the skirt. In Arlington Heights, that collects ice, forces seams, and leaks into the chase within 4-6 years. We replace with a properly cross-broken stainless cover, not a patch, and we show you the old one bent in our truck.
• Olympia Chimney’s poured refractory crowns crack from thermal shock. The factory-pour crowns on their pre-fab chimney systems don’t always have the expansion control joints a poured-in-place crown needs. When a homeowner in the Scarsdale or Hasbrook neighborhoods runs a high-efficiency insert, the crown takes thermal shock and spider-cracks. We grind, seal with CrownSeal, or pour new - and we tell you which makes sense after the camera run.
• Olympia Chimney’s aluminum chimney caps corrode at the mesh weld points. The standard cap shipped with many Olympia systems is aluminum mesh on a galvanized frame. In Arlington Heights, the combination of lake-effect humidity and acidic flue gas eats the mesh-to-frame weld in 3-5 years. We upgrade to 304 stainless mesh and frame, sourced through our Haven buying network, and we document the material grade in your photo record.
• Olympia Chimney’s factory refractory panels bow and spall with over-firing. The 1-inch refractory panels in their wood-burning fireplace systems aren’t rated for the temperatures some homeowners hit with dry hardwood and a wide-open damper. We measure the bow with a straightedge, check for cracks with a borescope, and replace with HeatShield-compatible panels or factory OEM - your call, priced both ways in writing.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We book a Level 2 inspection with camera scan - Haven Standard Clause 4, included as standard, not an add-on.
2. 2
   Camera inspection on arrival. Our tech runs the flue camera top to bottom, documents liner condition, creosote stage, crown integrity, and any gaps at the Olympia collar or chase cover. You watch the feed. We don’t speculate; we name what the camera found.
3. 3
   Written price before work. Haven Standard Clause 1: written scope, written price, written warranty - delivered before tools come off the truck. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll give you a free second opinion.
4. 4
   Parts decision with full context. We stock DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia-compatible components through our Haven buying network. If OEM is available and makes sense, we quote it. If a quality aftermarket part performs the same function at a better price, we quote that too and explain the trade-off.
5. 5
   Repair and real-time documentation. Tech performs the work, photographs each stage, and records final camera verification. You get the photo record, same visit.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Stamped on every job. No expiration games.

Why Arlington Heights Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Arlington Heights for Olympia Chimney Work

We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider - not affiliated with or authorized by Olympia Chimney - and that’s the point. We work for the homeowner, not the manufacturer. Our techs know the difference between a collar gap that needs resealing and a liner that needs full replacement because we’ve camera-scanned 38,000+ chimneys since 2009 and documented every one. When an Olympia system needs a part we don’t stock, we source through our Haven buying network from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield - not whatever the distributor pushes this month. Our background-checked, uniformed techs text when they’re en route, license number on the page, name on the invoice. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the chase cover we installed leaks, we come back. No argument. No “call the manufacturer.”
