How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liners in the OFP series develop circumferential cracking at the flex points where Plano’s clay-heavy soils cause subtle foundation shifts that transmit stress up the chimney stack. We see this most in homes built 2005-2015 near Prestonwood and Willow Bend. Our fix: pull the damaged section, measure the ovality distortion with a mandrel, and install a DuraFlex 316Ti replacement with an extended top plate that isolates flex stress from the masonry.
• Olympia rigid 304 stainless liners in the ORP line corrode from the outside in when paired with gas inserts in Plano’s humid shoulder seasons, where condensation sits in the gap between liner and flue tile. The ORP’s seam weld is internal, so the corrosion hides until the camera finds it. We remove the liner, inspect the surrounding flue tile for spalling, and either reinstall with proper insulation per Olympia’s clearance specs or upsize to a Gelco rigid if the flue is too compromised.
• Olympia Heat-Fab Saf-T Liner transitions in older Plano ranch homes fail at the slip joint where the appliance connector meets the main flue, especially after DIY stove installations that didn’t use the factory locking band. The gap leaks smoke into the smoke chamber, and the telltale is soot staining on the firebox side walls. We replace the transition with an OEM-equivalent Heat-Fab component or fabricate a welded adapter from 14-gauge 304 stainless if the original part is discontinued.
• Olympia chimney caps in the OCC series with integrated spark arrestors clog with cottonwood fluff every May and June across Collin County, trapping moisture against the liner top. The cap’s 5/8-inch mesh is finer than competitors’ 3/4-inch, so it catches more debris but also holds it. We clean or replace the cap, inspect the liner top for water etching, and often upsell to a Famco cap with a wider mesh and a deeper lid overhang that sheds Plano’s driving spring rains better.
• Olympia poured refractory liners in the OPR series crack vertically when the original installation missed the 1-inch minimum thickness spec at the flue corners, a flaw we find in about 30 percent of OPR jobs we inspect in Plano. The crack opens under thermal shock, usually the first hard freeze after a hot fire. We chip test the refractory, and if it’s thin or delaminated, we remove it and install a stainless liner rather than repour, because a poured liner’s second application rarely bonds to the first.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Schedule and scope. You call (469) 240-3101, a live person answers, and we book a Level 2 camera inspection. Corrine Halstead or a named, background-checked tech is assigned, and you get a text when we’re en route.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. We run a camera the full flue length, document liner condition, measure clearances, and check for creosote class. You get the photos before we talk price. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
3. 3
   Written price and parts decision. We deliver a written scope, written price, and written warranty before any work starts. For Olympia Chimney components, we quote OEM when available and quality aftermarket from our Haven buying network when lead times or pricing don’t serve you. No surprises.
4. 4
   Repair or rebuild. Liner jobs: remove the old, fit the new, seal the top plate, and insulate per NFPA 211. Rebuilds: stage scaffolding, demo to sound masonry, lay matching brick or stone, and install a new liner system. We work with DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Copperfield materials procured through Haven to keep prices honest.
5. 5
   Post-work test and documentation. We run a smoke test or draft test, verify combustion appliance zone pressure, and deliver a photo record of the completed work. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this documentation on every job.
6. 6
   Cleanup and guarantee. We haul debris, sweep the work area, and stamp the 365-Day Done Right Promise on your invoice. If it’s not done right, we make it right.

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of our Plano work is Olympia Chimney systems installed during the 2010s building boom. Corrine Halstead’s crew knows the difference between an OFP flex liner that can be section-replaced and an ORP rigid that’s too far gone to save, and we say so plainly, with photos, before any invoice conversation.

Our background-checked, uniformed technicians carry license information on every page and every truck. You get a named tech, a text when they’re en route, and a documented photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job. And because we source materials through Haven’s buying network across DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, we’re not locked into one manufacturer’s lead times or pricing. If Olympia’s backordered, we have options that don’t leave you waiting through burning season.
