How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

After years of working on Olympia Chimney systems in Tolland County, Wendell Pike can tell you which problems show up again and again. Here’s what we find, line by line, and what we do about it.

• Olympia Ventis Double-Wall Stainless - liner seam separation at the joints. We see this most often on older Ventis runs that vent wood stoves burning softwood or unseasoned cordwood. The inner liner takes repeated heat cycles, and the seams begin to work apart near offsets and elbows. A camera inspection shows it plainly. Fix is usually section replacement with the same gauge stainless, not a patch job.
• Olympia Forever Flex - creosote glazing in the corrugations. Forever Flex is a solid liner, but its spiral corrugation catches more particulate than a smooth-wall liner. If you burn pine or run the stove low and slow, third-degree creosote can build in the grooves within two seasons. We remove it with rotary whip heads sized to the liner diameter, then camera-check every foot so you see it’s clean with your own eyes.
• Olympia Excel Class A Chimney - rain cap and spark arrestor clogging. The Excel line’s factory caps have a fine mesh that clogs with soot and creosote faster than most people expect, especially where Coventry’s spring pollen and fall leaves blow across the roof line. We pull the cap, clean the mesh, and if the mesh is degraded we replace it with the OEM spec or a quality aftermarket equivalent so the draft stays strong.
• Olympia Temp/Guard triple-wall air-cooled - blockage at the tee cleanout. Older Temp/Guard systems with a basement cleanout tee collect ash and soot at the bottom of the vertical run. If nobody’s opened that tee in three or four years, you get a slow draft and a faint smoke smell in the house. We open it, vacuum it out, and inspect the tee cap gasket. Simple, but it’s the first thing we check on a smoking fireplace call in Coventry.
• Olympia liner-to-appliance connector warping. On stoves with a short connector into an Olympia liner, we’ve seen the connector warp from overfiring - which distorts the oval at the joint and lets exhaust leak. Your flue doesn’t care how the fire looks. It cares how it breathes. We check the connector every sweep and replace it when it’s out of round, because a leaking connector is a carbon monoxide path, not just a draft problem.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

Here’s how a job goes from phone call to done, whether we’re cleaning a Ventis system off a wood stove or doing the annual sweep on an Excel Class A fireplace chimney off Route 31.

1. 1
   You call (860) 743-7732, a person answers. Might be Wendell himself. We ask what you’ve got - stove, fireplace, furnace - and what brand of chimney is attached. We give you a price on the phone before a single tool comes off the truck.
2. 2
   We arrive and lay drop cloths, then look first. Wendell or one of his crew checks the firebox, the damper, the tee if there is one, and the cap from the roof. No power tools until we know what we’re dealing with.
3. 3
   Camera inspection, every time. We run the camera the full length of the flue and record it. You see the footage. No exceptions. If there’s a crack, a separated seam, or heavy glazing, you’ll know because you watched it on the screen, not because somebody told you.
4. 4
   We clean with brushes sized to your Olympia liner. First-degree creosote is a brush job. Third-degree is a glaze - catch it early. We use the right diameter for your liner and the right head for the buildup. No one-size-fits-all from the back of the truck.
5. 5
   If we find a problem, we tell you straight. And if it doesn’t need doing, Wendell will tell you that too. Factory parts when it matters for warranty, quality aftermarket when it doesn’t. The decision is yours, with a plain-English verdict from someone who’s been inside more chimneys than he can count.
6. 6
   Cleanup, recam, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. We leave the hearth cleaner than we found it and you get the promise on paper: if it’s not done right, one call brings us back. It’s been that way since 1999.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Costs in Coventry

No mystery pricing. Here’s what Olympia Chimney work actually costs in Coventry, based on what we see in the field.

• Standard annual sweep with Level 1 inspection: $180 to $240, depending on flue height and access.
• Sweep with Level 2 camera inspection: $260 to $310. More if the roof pitch is steep and we need extra setup.
• Heavy creosote removal (glazed or thick flaky buildup): $290 to $380 - rotary whips take longer and need extra vacuum passes.
• Rain cap replacement (OEM or quality aftermarket): $95 to $165 installed, depending on diameter.
• Connector pipe replacement: $140 to $220, parts included.

What moves the price: roof pitch, flue height, how long it’s been since the last sweep, and whether we’re pulling apart components to get at the buildup. We give you the number before we start. No trip charge for calls inside Tolland County. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, always. $40 off any repair over $200, on file. Call (860) 743-7732 for a free estimate.
