How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liner series: weld-seam corrosion at the flex-to-rigid transition. The 316Ti alloy handles creosote well, but the circumferential weld at the top termination sees constant thermal cycling in Boulder’s 5,400-foot altitude, where combustion runs leaner and hotter. We see this most in homes north of Arapahoe near the foothills, where wind-driven downdrafts add stress. Our fix: cut back to sound metal, transition with a DuraFlex or Olympia OEM rigid section, and document the repair with photos under Haven Standard Clause 4.
• Olympia Pro-Form modular masonry system: smoke chamber throat cracking above the damper. The Pro-Form’s refractory panels expand and contract on different schedules than the surrounding brick in Boulder’s dry winters, creating step cracks that leak smoke and creosote into wall cavities. Corrine Halstead spotted this pattern repeatedly in 1920s Mapleton Hill retrofits where the original flue was too small for modern inserts. We rebuild the throat with HeatShield Cerfractory Foam or replace the panel set, depending on crack width and depth measured during camera inspection.
• Olympia pellet venting systems: venturi erosion in the T-connector on multi-story runs. Pellet exhaust carries alkaline ash that abrades the inner wall of horizontal T-connectors, especially when homeowners burn lower-grade pellets common in Front Range supply chains. The symptom is a whistling intake noise that owners mistake for blower trouble. We replace with Gelco or Olympia OEM T-connectors rated for the actual run length, and we mark the inspection record with pellet grade recommendations.
• Olympia stainless steel chimney caps: mesh screen detachment from the frame. The cap’s spot-welded mesh separates after seasons of freeze-thaw in Boulder’s spring temperature swings, letting birds and debris enter while restricting draft. We see this on south-facing caps above 6,000 feet where UV degradation accelerates. We install replacement caps from Famco or Copperfield with mechanical-fastened mesh and a lifetime warranty on the frame.
• Olympia factory-built chimney chase covers: pan sag and corner rust-through. The galvanized chase pans on older Olympia systems pool water at the low corners, and Boulder’s intense winter sun followed by rapid freeze creates pinholes that rust through in 8-12 years. We fabricate custom Copperfield stainless chase covers with cross-breaks for positive drainage and a drip edge that extends past the chase framing.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Book a Level 2 inspection. We run a camera the full flue length, inspect the exterior from roof or ladder, and photograph every finding. You get the photo record before we discuss solutions.
2. 2
   Corrine reviews the footage and builds the scope. She identifies whether the failure is liner-only, involves the smoke chamber or chase, and whether OEM Olympia parts or quality aftermarket components make more sense for your system age and budget.
3. 3
   Written price delivered before work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1: the scope, the price, and the warranty terms are in your hands before anyone schedules the repair. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Repair with documented materials. We source Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield components through our buying network, and we photograph each stage: old material out, new material in, clearances verified.
5. 5
   Post-repair camera verification and smoke test. We re-run the camera to confirm liner integrity and perform a smoke test to verify draft performance under actual conditions.
6. 6
   Final documentation and 365-Day Done Right Promise. You receive the complete photo record, written warranty, and our commitment: if it’s not done right, we make it right. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do I.
