How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti stainless steel liners develop creosote bridging near the smoke chamber. The titanium-stabilized alloy resists corrosion, but the slightly rougher interior surface traps glazed creosote in Virginia Beach’s humid coastal air, especially when homeowners burn unseasoned pine from local lots. We remove the buildup with rotary whipping and a Level-2 camera verification, then advise on fuel moisture to prevent recurrence.
• Olympia Windbeater chase covers pool water at the corners after 8-12 years. The stamped-steel design with cross-break creasing sheds water well when new, but the seam sealant degrades faster here than inland because salt air accelerates galvanic corrosion at the corners. We replace with a Gelco or Copperfield cross-break cover in heavier-gauge aluminum or stainless, or fabricate a custom soldered copper cap for homes near the Oceanfront where salt exposure is highest.
• Olympia Pro-Zone chimney caps clog with pine needle debris from Virginia Beach’s loblolly stands. The 3/4-inch mesh that meets California spark-arrestor standards is finer than necessary for Virginia code and traps debris from the mature pines in neighborhoods like Great Neck and Kings Grant. We clean the mesh or swap to a 5/8-inch copper or stainless cap that breathes better while still containing embers.
• Olympia factory-built chimney enclosures suffer spalling brick at the base course. The air-cooled chimney systems vent through a framed chase, but the transition to masonry veneer in split-level homes built during the 1980s and 1990s - common in Virginia Beach - traps moisture where the metal base flashing meets the first course of brick. We repoint with Type N mortar matched for the coastal freeze-thaw cycle and install a proper drip edge above.
• Olympia flex liner connections loosen at the appliance adapter collar. The clamp-band system works well when installed with the proper torque, but thermal cycling in homes that burn daily through Virginia Beach’s mild winters gradually backs off the fasteners. We reseat with a new adapter, use a torque-calibrated driver, and seal the joint with high-temp silicone rated to 500°F - not the generic RTV some crews use that turns to powder.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks what you’re seeing, and books a Level-2 inspection. No phone tree, no callback tomorrow.
2. 2
   Camera inspection and documentation. Our technician runs a chimney camera from top to bottom, captures photos of every defect, and explains the findings in plain English before any work is proposed. You see what we see.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM Olympia or quality aftermarket. For liners and chase covers, we stock Olympia-compatible components from DuraFlex and Gelco that match or exceed OEM specs. If your system is under warranty, we use genuine Olympia parts to protect coverage. We tell you which and why.
4. 4
   Repair with upfront pricing locked. The estimate number is the invoice number. No surprises, no “we found something else” add-ons after you’ve agreed.
5. 5
   Post-repair draft test and photo verification. We verify the flue draws properly with a smoke pencil or digital manometer, and we photograph the completed work for your records.
6. 6
   Written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to find, no argument about whose fault it was.

Why Virginia Beach Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been answering the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we plan to be here when your next question comes up. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Olympia Chimney systems specifically - they know the difference between a Windbeater cap and a Pro-Zone cap, and they carry both OEM and quality aftermarket parts from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco so we’re not ordering parts while your chimney sits open.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, with no arguing. The flue either drafts right or it doesn’t - there’s no in-between worth living with. And the price we quote is the price you pay. We’ve earned calls back from homeowners in Linkhorn Park, Great Neck, and across the Oceanfront not because we talked a good game, but because the repair held and the bill matched the estimate.
