How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liners in Willow Glen’s 1950s ranches - these homes run long, offset flues through shallow-pitch attics. The 316Ti alloy handles standard wood-burning duty, but San Jose’s dry summers followed by winter thermal shock create micro-cracking at flex joints we see starting around year 12. We sleeve with DuraFlex Pro or replace outright, depending on crack density on camera.
• Olympia rigid 304 stainless elbows in Almaden Valley two-story builds - the 90-degree factory elbows on these systems collect acidic condensation when gas inserts run below minimum flue temperature. The result is pinhole corrosion at the inner seam, not visible from the firebox. We pull the elbow, match the gauge, and pressure-test before the cap goes back on.
• Olympia smooth-wall transition collars in pre-1990 San Jose masonry - these collars were spec’d for tighter clay flue dimensions common in the area. After decades of expansion cycling, the collar separates from the upper liner run, creating a gap that vents into the smoke chamber. We document the separation on camera, then rebuild the transition with HeatShield Cerfractory foam or a custom-fabricated adapter.
• Olympia chimney crown deterioration above the chase cover - Olympia’s galvanized chase covers outlast the poured crown beneath them in San Jose’s sun exposure. Water migrates through crown cracks, saturates the liner surround, and accelerates spalling on the brick face. We replace the crown with a Gelco poured unit or rebuild to current CBC wind-load spec, whichever the photo record supports.
• Olympia factory-built chimney sections in the Alum Rock foothills - these see more thermal cycling from temperature inversions that sit cold air in the canyon mouths. The double-wall factory joints loosen, and the inner liner slips. We find the slip point with a down-flue camera sweep, then re-seat and band-clamp per Olympia’s mechanical spec or convert to a listed solid-fuel liner if the factory section is no longer produced.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Camera inspection first. Corrine Halstead or one of our NFPA 211 Level 2 techs runs a camera the full flue length. You get the footage, timestamped, same day. No footage, no quote.
2. 2
   Written price before work starts. We specify OEM Olympia parts versus quality aftermarket alternatives from our Haven buying network. You see the delta in dollars and warranty terms. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: have it in writing.
3. 3
   Parts procurement through verified channels. We source Olympia-compatible materials through our network with DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco. No gray-market components. Serial numbers logged.
4. 4
   Installation or rebuild per manufacturer spec. Liner pulls use proper breakaway connections. Rebuilds follow CBC and local amendment for seismic strap spacing. A second tech verifies critical measurements.
5. 5
   Post-work camera verification and smoke test. We document the completed flue, pressure or smoke test per application, and deliver your photo record with written warranty. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this archive.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right follow-up. Burn season starts, something doesn’t draw right, we come back. No charge. No argument.
