How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid stainless liner systems, but every product has weak points. We see the same dozen failure patterns across Hempstead houses year after year. Here’s what we look for and how we address each one.

• Corrosion at the tee connection in Olympia Chimney flexible liners. We regularly find rust and pinholes at the stainless tee where the liner connects to the appliance flue pipe, especially in Hempstead homes with gas furnaces. The cause is almost always condensation dripping back down the liner. The fix is usually a replacement tee assembly or, if caught early enough, spot welding from a certified chimney tech.
• Olympia Chimney smooth-wall liner cracking near the flue cap. The top three feet of a liner take the most weather and heat cycling. We’ve replaced cracked Olympia smooth-wall sections on houses across the Fulton neighborhood of Hempstead where the flue cap sat just a few inches above the brick crown. Water sits there after rain, freezes in winter, and the expansion splits the seam.
• Warped Olympus chimney cover frames on older Olympia Chimney outdoor chimney kits. The older steel-frame covers warp after ten or twelve Nassau County winters. Water then runs down the sides and puddles around the anchor bolts. Fixing this usually means removing the old cover, replacing the anchor assembly, and installing a new cover with a proper drain gap.
• Creosote buildup concentrating around Olympia Chimney appliance adapters. The adapter where the liner meets the wood stove or oil burner is a catch point for creosote in Hempstead homes that burn wood four or five nights a week. We see this far more on Olympia systems than on other liner brands because of the tighter internal diameter on their standard 5.5-inch liner. The fix is a mid-season sweep plus inspection of the adapter gasket, not a liner replacement.
• Disconnected Olympia Chimney sections in exterior masonry chimneys. On homes in Hempstead where the original terra cotta flue was relined with Olympia rigid sections, the joints between sections sometimes loosen after the house shifts. The tell is a flue that drafts fine in the morning but stalls out in the afternoon heat. We reconnect and re-clamp those joints, which is usually a two-hour repair, not a liner replacement.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Inspection Process

Every inspection follows the same steps, and the same rules apply on every job: written price first, nothing recommended without photo evidence, everything guaranteed for a full year.

1. 1
   You call (516) 559-6922. A live person answers, asks about your chimney setup and what you’re seeing, and gives you a straight answer on what the inspection will likely run so you can decide before committing.
2. 2
   We show up inside the window. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with the inspection camera, ladders, and a printed price sheet that matches what you were told on the phone.
3. 3
   We inspect the full run, not just the top and bottom. The camera goes down the entire Olympia Chimney liner or through the full flue path, and we look specifically for the failure patterns above: tee corrosion, cap-area cracking, adapter creosote, and joint separation.
4. 4
   You get the photo report. We sit down with you, show you the camera footage, and walk through every finding. If a liner is clean and safe, that’s what the report says. If it is not, you get photos of exactly what is wrong and where.
5. 5
   We put any recommended fix in writing. Parts decisions are stated plainly: OEM Olympia Chimney component when warranty compliance matters, or a quality aftermarket equivalent from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco when the value is better and the fit is right. The price on that written estimate is the price you pay.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the guarantee. We leave the work area clean, do a final draft check, and explain the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a repair we make fails within the next year, we come back and fix it at no charge.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Inspection Costs in Hempstead

A Level 1 inspection in Hempstead, which covers a chimney that has been in continuous use and is not showing symptoms, typically runs $175 to $225. A Level 2 inspection, which adds full camera work and is what most Hempstead homeowners need after a home purchase or a fuel change, runs $300 to $350 and includes the photo report. Level 3 inspections, which are rare and require opening the masonry or removing liner sections, start around $900 plus the cost of opening and patching.

What moves the price: roof height and pitch, the condition of the existing flue cap, and whether this is a straightforward single-flue inspection or a multi-flue home with multiple Olympia Chimney runs. We give you the exact number before any work starts. Call (516) 559-6922 and we’ll confirm your price on the phone.
