This page is for homeowners who have an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or venting product installed and need a sweep who understands how these systems age in Montgomery County’s freeze-thaw climate - not a generic cleaner with a brush and a prayer.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner tubes develop creosote clustering at the collar joints. The 316Ti series uses rolled seams that create slight ridges inside the flue. In Pottstown’s damp winters, condensation forms at these ridges and hardens into glazed creosote faster than on smooth-wall liners. We use rotary polypropylene chains followed by mechanical scraping at the joints, then verify clearance with a camera before we leave.
• Olympia Chimney’s ProFlex chimney liner shows draft instability when the termination cap screen clogs with cottonwood fluff. The flexible corrugated wall traps more particulate than rigid pipe, and the factory screen mesh is finer than most. We remove and clean the cap separately, run a full flue brush, and check for liner wall deformation from past overheating - a common find in older Pottstown homes with oversized fireboxes.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible caps lose seal integrity at the base flange after 8-12 years. The galvanized steel base develops pinhole corrosion from Montgomery County road salt aerosol, especially on homes near Route 100 or the Pottstown Expressway. We document the flange condition with photos, replace with a Gelco stainless base if needed, and re-bed with high-temp silicone rather than the original foam gasket.
• Olympia Chimney’s DuraFlex relining systems suffer from improper original sizing in pre-1940s Pottstown masonry. Many Manatawny Street and High Street homes have 8×12 or larger flues that were downsized too aggressively. The result is rapid soot accumulation and smoking into the room. We measure the firebox volume against the liner diameter, and if the original install was wrong, we tell you plainly - no camera evidence, no recommendation.
• Olympia Chimney oval-to-round adapters crack at the weld seam under thermal cycling. These transitions see the most stress in any system, and Olympia’s adapter gauge is adequate but not generous. We inspect with a borescope from both directions, and when we find fatigue cracking, we source a heavier-gauge aftermarket adapter or fabricate a custom transition - whichever gives the better long-term result for your system.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call intake with a live person. No voicemail, no callback queue. We ask about your Olympia Chimney product line if you know it, the age of the system, and any symptoms - smoke, odor, draft issues, or recent chimney fire.
2. 2
   Level 1 or Level 2 inspection on arrival. Our technician photographs the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and flue interior. For real estate transactions or post-event evaluations, we run a Level 2 camera inspection top to bottom.
3. 3
   Creosote and soot removal with brand-appropriate tools. Olympia Chimney stainless liners get rotary chains sized to the diameter; flexible ProFlex lines get gentler treatment to preserve the corrugated wall. We collect all debris in HEPA-contained vacuums - no mess in your living room.
4. 4
   Parts assessment: OEM versus quality aftermarket. When we find a failing Olympia Chimney component, we explain your options. Some parts, like termination caps, we source through Olympia distribution. Others, like heavy-gauge adapters or Gelco-compatible upgrades, we fabricate or source from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Famco when they outlast the original spec.
5. 5
   Testing and documentation. We run a draft test, check for leaks with a smoke pencil, and compile your photo report with a plain-English verdict - what’s fine, what needs attention now, what can wait.
6. 6
   Written guarantee and cleanup. Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. We leave the work area cleaner than we found it, and the invoice matches the estimate.

Why Pottstown Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been sweeping chimneys in Montgomery County for over 42 years, and Olympia Chimney products have been part of that landscape since they gained traction in the mid-2000s. Russell Haines has put hands on enough of these systems to know where the factory design ends and the real-world install begins - and where Pottstown’s clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw winters add stress that a catalog won’t mention.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the tools to complete most Olympia Chimney jobs in one visit. We document everything with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict you can understand. If something’s not right, we make it right - in writing, no arguing, through our 90-Day Done Right Promise. The chimney does not lie - and neither do we.

When an Olympia part is no longer the best option, we draw on professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco - never builder-grade substitutes. A square deal: no surprises on the bill. We’ll be there when we say.
