This page is for West Hartford homeowners with an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or venting component who need honest diagnostics, documented evidence they can see, and a crew that knows the difference between an Olympia 316Ti flexible liner and a generic substitute. Russell Haines and our technicians have swept and inspected these systems along Farmington Avenue and in the older colonials near Elizabeth Park for the better part of two decades. If you own an Olympia Chimney product and want it serviced by people who understand its specifications, call us for a free estimate.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liner: creosote packing at the collar joint. The titanium-stabilized stainless steel resists corrosion, but the factory collar joint on early production runs (roughly 2008-2014) creates a slight interior ridge where creosote accumulates faster than on seamless competitors like DuraFlex. During a sweep, we use a rotary polypropylene whip sized to the exact Olympia inner diameter, not a one-size-fits-all brush that skips the ridge. In West Hartford, where homeowners burn seasoned hardwood from local suppliers like Barts Tree Service, this packing typically shows up at the 18-month mark instead of the standard 24.
• Olympia Gelco-compatible cap: mesh corrosion from freeze-thaw cycling. West Hartford’s 90-plus freeze-thaw cycles per winter force moisture into the 5/8-inch mesh on Olympia’s standard cap models. The mesh corrodes from the inside out, flaking rust into the flue during spring thaws. We document this with camera footage before removal, then source either an OEM Olympia replacement or a Gelco stainless upgrade depending on your warranty status and budget.
• Olympia HeatShield-compatible smoke chamber: parging separation at the shoulder. When an Olympia system has been paired with a HeatShield smoke chamber seal, the interface between the two materials can delaminate if the original application skipped the bonding wash. We see this in West Hartford’s 1920s colonials where the shoulder angle exceeds 45 degrees. Our fix: mechanical removal of the failed section, reapplication with the specified bonding agent, and a post-repair video scan.
• Olympia oval-to-round adapter: soot bridging in the transition. The adapter that converts an Olympia oval liner to a round appliance collar has a known flat spot where soot bridges during shoulder seasons - those weeks in October and April when West Hartford homeowners run small, inefficient fires. We remove the adapter for hand cleaning rather than attempting to whip through it, then verify draft with a manometer before reassembly.
• Olympia top-sealing damper: cable fraying from creosote drip. The stainless cable on Olympia’s top-sealing damper runs through the flue center, and creosote that drips during shoulder season fires works into the strands. We catch this during Level 2 inspections with upward-facing camera angles most sweeps skip. Replacement cables are available, but we also evaluate whether a Gelco or Famco side-mount conversion makes more sense for your burn habits.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call intake with live person. When you call (860) 743-1516, a live person answers. We ask for your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, the appliance type, and your last sweep date. We schedule a arrival window and email a confirmation.
2. 2
   Arrival and protection. Our technician arrives in uniform, lays drop cloths from the door to the hearth, and runs a HEPA-filtered vacuum before touching anything. We confirm the upfront price before starting work.
3. 3
   Level 1 or Level 2 inspection with documentation. For every Olympia Chimney system, we perform the inspection level your situation requires. Level 2 includes interior camera footage of the full flue length, the smoke chamber, and the damper assembly. You see the footage on a tablet before we proceed.
4. 4
   Sweep with brand-appropriate tools. We select whip diameter, brush stiffness, and vacuum cfm based on your specific Olympia Chimney liner gauge and diameter. No generic tools forced into a precision fit.
5. 5
   Post-sweep testing and verdict. We test draft, verify damper operation, and provide a plain-English written verdict with photos. If we find a condition requiring repair, we explain what it is, show you the evidence, and tell you whether it can wait or needs attention before the next burning season.
6. 6
   Cleanup, guarantee documentation, and scheduling. We leave the work area cleaner than we found it. You receive the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If you need a follow-up, we schedule it before we leave.
