This page is for Olympia Chimney owners in Sherman Oaks who need their flue swept, their liner inspected, or their firebox cleaned by technicians who know the difference between an Olympia 316Ti flexible liner and a generic knockoff. Call (424) 414-6048 for a free estimate.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti Flexible Liner: creosote bridging at the flex joints. The corrugated design that makes this liner adaptable to offset flues also creates small ridges where Class II and III creosote can bridge across, restricting draft long before the flue looks dirty from above. We see this most often in Sherman Oaks homes with older wood-framed construction along Ventura Boulevard, where fireplace use is heavy November through March. Our fix: rotary chain sweeping with poly or steel whip selected to the creosote class, followed by camera verification that every corrugation is clear.
• Olympia Stainless Steel Rigid Liner: weld-seam separation at the first offset. The rigid series carries exhaust straighter and hotter, but the factory weld at the first elbow can work loose after repeated thermal cycling, especially in systems that see daily use. During a Level 2 inspection we camera-scan every seam; if we find separation, we document it, quote replacement with a new Olympia rigid section or a quality aftermarket equivalent, and never patch over a structural liner fault.
• Olympia Chimney Cap / Spark Arrestor: mesh corrosion from marine air. Sherman Oaks sits close enough to the Pacific that salt-laden fog rolls in on summer mornings. Olympia’s standard 304 stainless mesh caps show surface corrosion after four to six years here, faster than inland markets. We replace with 316L marine-grade mesh or an Olympia upgraded cap when available, and we note the condition in your photo record so you have dated evidence for insurance or resale.
• Olympia Oval-to-Round Adapter: soot packing in the transition zone. This adapter, common in Olympia retrofits where a round liner meets an oval clay flue, creates a dead spot that collects soot and bird debris. It’s invisible from the firebox and often missed by sweeps who don’t camera the full length. We always do, and we carry the correct Olympia adapter size on our trucks so replacement happens same visit if needed.
• Olympia Top-Sealing Damper: cable fray and seal degradation. The silicone seal on Olympia’s top-mount dampers stiffens in dry Sherman Oaks heat after about seven years, and the stainless cable can kink if the counterweight is out of spec. A stuck open damper wastes conditioned air year-round; stuck closed is a carbon monoxide hazard. We test operation, measure seal compression, and replace with OEM or a quality Famco equivalent if Olympia stock is backordered.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability, and notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it. We text your technician’s name and photo the morning of.
2. 2
   Arrival and protection. Our tech lays floor and hearth protection, then runs a Level 2 inspection per NFPA 211: camera down the full flue, smoke chamber, firebox, and exterior to cap. Corrine Halstead trains every tech to read a flue the way she learned at Apex Technical School in Manhattan - findings first, opinion second.
3. 3
   Diagnosis and written price. You see the camera footage on a tablet. We name what we found, what it means, and what it costs. The written scope, price, and warranty are delivered before any tool touches your chimney. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: have it in writing.
4. 4
   Sweep and service. Rotary or manual sweeping based on creosote class, with parts from our Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco inventory as appropriate. OEM when it matters, quality aftermarket when it doesn’t.
5. 5
   Documentation and test. Final camera pull to confirm clear flue. Smoke test or draft reading where indicated. Your photo record and written completion summary are emailed before we leave. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this archive; we’ve done it on every job since 2009.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we did needs correction, we make it right. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither does the written quote.
