How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney ProFlex liner series: The ProFlex’s corrugated 316Ti stainless steel can develop stress fractures at the flex points where Long Beach’s salt-laden marine air accelerates chloride pitting. We see this most in homes within a mile of the Pacific where the liner was installed without a proper rain cap. Our fix: section-scan with the camera to map every fracture, then sleeve with DuraFlex or replace the damaged run with new ProFlex - your choice, priced both ways in writing before we start.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style cap assemblies: The mesh on older Gelco-labeled caps (distributed through Olympia’s network) can clog with catalpa and jacaranda debris that falls heavy in Long Beach’s spring bloom. Homeowners smell smoke on the first cool night in November because the cap was choked all summer. We pull the cap, document the mesh condition with photos, and either clean and reset or source a new Gelco equivalent through our buying network.
• Olympia Chimney poured refractory liners: These cast-in-place systems shrink away from the flue wall over decades, creating gap channels that let flue gases contact brick. In Long Beach’s 1920s bungalows near Bluff Park, we find this where the original chimney was built with soft, high-absorption brick. We camera-map the gaps, then repour with HeatShield Cerfractory Foam or recommend a stainless Olympia liner based on what the footage shows.
• Olympia Chimney top-sealing dampers: The cast-aluminum throat plates corrode at the pivot pin when condensation sits - common where homeowners run ventless logs that dump moisture into a cool flue. The damper hangs open a quarter inch, enough to kill your heating budget. We disassemble, photograph the pin and plate, and replace with OEM or a Famco equivalent. Both options are priced in writing.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash failures: Olympia’s poured crowns are sound when new, but the formulation used in 2008-2014 batches was prone to surface crazing in freeze-thaw cycles. Long Beach doesn’t freeze hard, but morning marine layer followed by afternoon sun creates the same thermal shock. We grind back to sound concrete, apply a sloped CrownSeal or rebuild with Portland-based mortar, and document the slope with a photo for your records.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We book a two-hour window and text you when your technician is en route.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. Camera down the flue, photos of every joint, every course of brick, every component tag. We read the Olympia Chimney model and serial numbers where visible.
3. 3
   Written scope and price. You get the camera footage, a written diagnosis, and a fixed price for OEM parts, quality aftermarket, or both. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: have it in writing before anyone picks up a trowel.
4. 4
   Repair with documented steps. We photograph before, during, and after. Mortar mix ratios, liner insertion depths, damper clearances - all recorded.
5. 5
   Post-repair camera verification. We run the camera again to confirm the fix: no gaps, proper draft, correct clearances. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither does the price sheet.
6. 6
   Written warranty and archive. Your photo record goes into our archive under Haven Standard Clause 4, active since 2009. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every invoice.

Why Long Beach Homeowners Call Emberly Chimney Cleaners Long Beach for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been inspecting and repairing chimneys across Long Beach since 2009, from the craftsman homes near the traffic circle to the stucco ranches off Seventh Street. Corrine Halstead learned this trade in Queens and built a crew that knows how salt air off the Pacific accelerates liner deterioration in ways that catch a lot of homeowners off guard. When we say we’ll show you the footage, we hand you the tablet. When we say written price, it’s on paper before the ladder goes up. Our materials come through Haven’s buying network from Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield - sourced to keep customer prices honest, not to push one brand. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is not a slogan. It’s stamped on every job. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
