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.

This page is for homeowners in Brick, NJ who have an Olympia Chimney liner or chimney system showing wear, draft problems, or visible damage, and want a crew that knows the product line cold. Call (609) 657-3371 - a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316Ti stainless flex liners: crevice corrosion at the flex joints. In Brick, the combination of salt air from the Manasquan River and high-efficiency appliance exhaust creates acidic condensation that pools in the corrugations. We see this especially on two-story homes near Windward Beach Park. Our fix: pull the damaged section, inspect the full run with a camera, and replace with either OEM Olympia Chimney 316Ti or upgrade to a DuraFlex 316Ti with tighter corrugation profile that sheds condensate faster.
- Olympia Chimney rigid stainless liners: seam separation at the couplers. The rigid line uses a snap-lock coupler that can work loose after 10-15 years of thermal cycling, particularly when the chimney lacks proper insulation. We document the gap with camera photos you can see, then either reseat and seal with high-temp silicone and locking bands, or replace the coupler assembly if the metal has thinned.
- Olympia Chimney oval-to-round adapters: deformation from over-tightening during original install. This is a parts-nuance most crews miss. The adapter is thin-gauge to allow field shaping, but over-torqued hose clamps create stress risers that crack. We replace with a properly sized Gelco oval adapter and use torque-limited clamps - done right, and we stand behind it.
- Olympia Chimney top-termination caps: salt-air pitting on the mesh spark arrestor. The standard cap mesh is 304 stainless, which holds up inland but struggles within a mile of tidal water. We upgrade to a Copperfield 316-cap with wider mesh spacing that meets code without clogging from creosote buildup, or we can source the Olympia Chimney heavy-duty cap if you prefer OEM.
- Olympia Chimney poured refractory liners: spalling from freeze-thaw near the flue opening. Older Brick homes with poured refractory liners - sometimes sold under Olympia Chimney’s heritage line - suffer surface flaking when rainwater seeps through a cracked crown and refreezes. We repair with HeatShield cerfractory foam resurfacing if the shell is sound, or recommend a full stainless liner insert if the structural integrity is gone. Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask about your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, symptoms you’ve noticed, and the appliance type (wood, gas, pellet, oil). We book a Level-2 inspection with camera.
- 2
On-site camera inspection. Our technician runs a chimney camera from top to bottom, or bottom to top depending on access. You see the footage in real time. We document cracks, gaps, corrosion patterns, and liner movement. The verdict is plain English, not jargon.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. We stock Olympia Chimney-compatible components, but we’re independent - no manufacturer obligations. If DuraFlex or Gelco offers a better solution for your specific failure mode, we’ll say so and explain why. The choice is yours.
- 4
Repair or rebuild, single visit. Most Olympia Chimney liner replacements and partial rebuilds finish in one day. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the full inventory to avoid callbacks. No-hassle upfront pricing means the estimate number matches the invoice number.
- 5
Post-repair camera verification and draft test. We re-run the camera to confirm proper liner seating, check draft with a manometer, and perform a smoke test if required. Russell Haines still does a walkaround of every finished job himself - old habit, and he’s not interested in breaking it.
- 6
Written guarantee, cleanup, and departure. You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, no arguing. We tarp the work area, vacuum, and haul away old liner material. A square deal: no surprises on the bill.

We’ve been answering the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we plan to be in Brick in thirty more. That changes how you treat a customer.
Our technicians know Olympia Chimney products specifically - the flex corrugation pitch, the rigid coupler torque spec, the adapter gauge - because we’ve pulled and replaced enough of them to recognize the failure patterns by sight. When an Olympia Chimney part is backordered, we have DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco alternatives that meet or exceed OEM spec, installed with warranty-safe practices.

FAQs
No. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use OEM-compatible or OEM-identical parts installed to manufacturer spec. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship from the factory; it does not require you to use any specific service company. If you have a current warranty claim, we document our work with photos and serial numbers to support it. Call (609) 657-3371 if you want us to review your warranty status before booking.
Most are completed in a single day, typically 4-6 hours for a standard single-flue replacement. Two-story homes in Brick with steep roof pitches near the Metedeconk River may need a second morning for scaffold setup and breakdown. We tell you the full timeline upfront, not after we’re in your living room. Call for a free estimate with scheduling.
It depends on what the camera shows. Isolated coupler separation, minor corrosion at the termination, or a single damaged flex section can often be repaired for under $1,600. If the liner shows generalized thinning, multiple holes, or has pulled away from the appliance collar, replacement is the safer and more economical long-term choice. We show you the camera evidence and give both options when they exist. No work is recommended without photos you can see for yourself.
An compromised Olympia Chimney liner allows exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, to leak into wall cavities or living spaces. It also lets creosote accumulate in the chimney structure itself, raising fire risk. In Brick’s older housing stock - much of it built before 1980 - the chimney may not be clay-tile lined at all, making the metal liner your only protection. We don’t scare-sell, and we’ll tell you plainly when a repair can wait until next season. But a failed liner is not a cosmetic issue. Call (609) 657-3371 for a free inspection and honest timeline.
We stock the most common Olympia Chimney flex and rigid liner diameters, adapters, and termination caps. For less common sizes or the poured refractory repair materials, we typically source within 3-5 business days through our Gelco and Copperfield supply lines. If your heat is down and we don’t have the exact Olympia Chimney part, we can often install a DuraFlex equivalent same-day to get you running safely while the OEM component ships. We’ll explain the trade-off and let you decide.
