How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Clean & Repair Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless flue liners: surface corrosion at the lower flue joints. Manhattan’s river-humidity air and the condensation cycle from short burn times in older apartments mean the first 12-18 inches above the appliance collar is where we see pitting. During a sweep we brush this section carefully and camera-check for wall thinning. We’ll note it in the report and give you a replacement cost in writing only if the camera shows the liner is close to perforation.
• Olympia Chimney caps with expanded mesh: clogging at the mesh collar. The mesh on Olympia’s cap line catches creosote and soot faster than any other brand we service in Manhattan. We remove the cap, clean the mesh with a solvent-soak and a stiff brush, then reinstall with the fasteners checked. If the mesh is rusted through, we quote a replacement cap in writing before ordering anything.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers on flat-roof townhouses: standing water and rust-through. Flat-roof installations in Chelsea and the Village put Olympia chase covers in direct contact with water. We’ve pulled covers where the flange was rusted through along two edges but the center still looked new. A sweep is the right time to catch this, because the chase cover is off anyway. We bring a spare to every Manhattan job.
• Olympia Chimney anchors and flashing: wind-driven loosening on upper-floor exposures. Manhattan buildings above the 10th floor take wind shear that older Olympia anchor kits weren’t always torqued for. Loose flashing is a water entry point that shows up as rust streaks on the interior flue wall. We retorque and reseal as part of the sweep when the roof access allows it.
• Creosote class and load patterns specific to Manhattan burn habits. In Manhattan, we see a lot of Class II and III creosote from homeowners who burn pressed logs and occasional unseasoned wood in Olympia liners. Pressed logs burn hotter but produce a finer soot that packs into the liner’s corrugations. We use a rotary brush with nylon flails to get into that profile without scratching the liner surface.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. We take your address, the age of the home, and what you’re burning. We give you a written quote before anyone shows up. (Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before work starts.)
2. 2
   We arrive, drop cloths, and set up the camera rig. We run the NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scan first, before any brushing. It shows us the liner condition, the cap, the crown, and the smoke chamber.
3. 3
   We clean what the report says needs cleaning. Brushes sized to your flue, a vacuum with a HEPA filter, and hand cleaning of the smoke chamber and damper. For Olympia liners we use nylon rotary flails, not steel, to protect the wall profile.
4. 4
   We make a parts decision with you, in writing. If a cap or anchor needs replacing, we show you the camera footage, give you an OEM Olympia part price and a quality aftermarket equivalent, and you decide. We don’t order anything without a written approval.
5. 5
   We run the camera a second time. Our rule: the flue shouldn’t look like a training manual for what not to do, and the customer sees that footage before we pack up. Photos and a written report are yours. That’s Haven Standard Clause 4.
6. 6
   We clean up and hand you a written warranty. Every job ends with a documented record: what we did, what we saw, what we recommend, and what’s covered under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Costs in Manhattan

Here’s what we charge in Manhattan for Olympia Chimney work, in writing, before we start:

• Standard open-flue fireplace sweep with Level 2 camera inspection: $229-$289
• Heavily creosoted flue (Class II or III) requiring rotary cleaning and follow-up camera pass: $310-$389
• Fireplace insert or wood stove vent with camera inspection and cleaning: $280-$360
• Chase cover or cap replacement (including new part and installation): $430-$780, depending on size and access
• Smoke chamber parge repair after cleaning (if the camera shows failing mortar): $290-$520

The two things that move the price in Manhattan are roof access (a 5th-floor walkup with a roof hatch is faster than a 14th-floor flat roof requiring a building super’s key) and the creosote load. We quote the flat price before we arrive, and you see the camera evidence before any add-on is proposed. Call (862) 319-8047 for a written estimate.
