Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterOlympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Fairfield: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney liner and rebuild service in Fairfield, with most liner replacements and partial rebuilds completed in a single visit. Our Level-2 camera inspection comes first, so you see what we see before any work is priced. Typical liner jobs run $2,800-$5,500 depending on flue count and height; full rebuilds start higher and we quote them flat, with the same number on the estimate and the invoice. This page is for Fairfield homeowners with an Olympia Chimney stainless steel or flexible liner system that has failed, corroded, or been damaged by a chimney fire, and who want the repair documented and done right the first time. Call us at (475) 251-7537 for a free estimate.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liners in Greenfield Hill colonials often develop creosote buildup at the flex points where the corrugations trap condensation. Fairfield’s coastal humidity accelerates this, especially in shoulder seasons when the flue never fully dries. We pull the old liner, inspect the flue tile beneath with our camera, and replace with a properly sized Olympia-compatible 316Ti or upgrade to DuraFlex if the run has tight offsets.
- Olympia Chimney rigid stainless systems in Southport waterfront homes show salt-air corrosion at the cap and top plate joints. The 304-grade collars oxidize faster than the 316Ti body. We replace the collar assembly with marine-grade hardware, reseal with proper high-temp silicone, and document the flue interior before closing up.
- Olympia Chimney oval-to-round adapters in 1980s raised-ranch fireplaces crack at the weld seam after 15-20 years of thermal cycling. This is a known fatigue point, not installation error. We fabricate a replacement adapter or source the OEM part, pressure-test the joint, and verify draft with a manometer.
- Olympia Chimney liner collars pulled loose by freeze-thaw in Fairfield’s older masonry leave a gap that leaks combustion gases into the wall cavity. We find this during camera inspection when the homeowner smells “something off” but the CO detector hasn’t triggered yet. We reseat the collar with a proper top plate, insulate the annular space, and run a combustion spillage test.
- Olympia Chimney relining jobs where a previous installer used generic flex create draft problems because the aftermarket liner is oversized or undersized for the appliance. We measure the appliance outlet and flue height, calculate the correct diameter per NFPA 211, and install either Olympia-compatible flex or switch to HeatShield cerfractory flue spray if the flue tile is sound but gapped.

FAQs
No. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we install parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications, and we document our work with photos and test results. Most Olympia Chimney liner warranties cover defects in materials, not installation, so warranty claims proceed normally if a part fails. If you have a specific concern, bring your paperwork and we’ll review it together. Call (475) 251-7537.
Most single-flue liner replacements are completed in one day, typically four to six hours on site. Multi-flue systems or jobs with difficult roof access may run longer. We give you a time estimate at booking, not a vague “sometime tomorrow.” Call (475) 251-7537 to schedule.
It depends on what the camera shows. Localized collar cracks, adapter weld failures, or minor corrosion spots can often be repaired. If the liner shows multiple perforations, severe creosote glazing, or deformation from a chimney fire, replacement is the safer and more cost-effective choice. We show you the footage and explain both options. Call (475) 251-7537 for a free inspection.
Standard Olympia Chimney collars, adapters, and flex sections are usually available within a few business days. Specialty or discontinued sizes may take longer. We maintain relationships with multiple suppliers and can source quality aftermarket alternatives from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco that match spec if timing matters. Call (475) 251-7537 and we’ll check availability for your specific model.
The symptoms, slow draft, smoke spillage, water in the firebox, or a persistent “sooty” smell, have multiple possible causes. Our Level-2 camera inspection isolates whether the liner is perforated, disconnected, improperly sized, or simply fine and the problem lies elsewhere. We don’t sell liner work you don’t need. Call (475) 251-7537 for an honest diagnosis.
