Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterOlympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Atlanta: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cleaning and sweep services across Atlanta, with most inspections completed in 90 minutes and a written price delivered before any work begins. A standard Level 2 inspection with camera scan and photo documentation runs $189-$279 for Olympia Chimney systems, while cleaning with creosote removal typically falls between $249-$389 depending on buildup severity and flue access. This page is for Atlanta homeowners who installed an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or damper between 2015 and 2023 and need annual sweep service, suspect a blockage, or were told by another company that their Olympia component needs replacement. Call (470) 435-7984 and a live person will answer, 24/7.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney ProFlex liners with separated seam joints. The ProFlex 316Ti flexible liner, common in Atlanta’s 1920s bungalow retrofits in Grant Park and Ormewood Park, uses a locking seam that can gap after 8-12 years of Georgia thermal cycling. Our camera finds the separation at the elbow or offset, we measure the gap, and if it’s under 3/8 inch we seal with HeatShield Cerfractory Foam under Olympia’s approved repair protocol rather than pulling the full liner.
- Olympia Chimney Top-Sealing dampers with corroded cast-aluminum frames. The cast-aluminum frame on pre-2019 Top-Sealing dampers pits from Atlanta’s acidic rain and pollen residue, especially on north-facing flues in Decatur and Druid Hills. We document the pitting with photos, quote an aftermarket stainless frame from Famco if the throat is still square, or source a current Olympia replacement if the seal track is warped.
- Olympia Chimney Gelco cap screens clogged with catalpa and pecan debris. The 5/8-inch mesh on standard Gelco caps, often paired with Olympia liners in Sandy Springs installations, packs tight with spring catalpa flowers and fall pecan leaflet drop. We remove the cap, brush the screen clean, and if the mesh is distorted we replace with a Copperfield 3/4-inch stainless screen that flows better with the same Olympia base dimension.
- Olympia Chimney rigid liner systems with spalling clay thimble interfaces. In Virginia-Highland and Morningside-Lenox Park, where 1940s brick chimneys got Olympia rigid 304 liners in the 2010s, the clay thimble at the appliance connection flakes from differential expansion. Our Level 2 scan catches spalling before it blocks the flue, and we rebuild the interface with a DuraFlex adapter rather than chipping out the entire thimble.
- Olympia Chimney ProFlex with Class III glazed creosote at the smoke chamber. The ProFlex’s corrugated interior traps condensate in shallow-burning Atlanta fireplaces, especially with oak and hickory common in north Georgia cordwood. We identify glazed creosote with the camera, treat with ACS anti-creosote powder during the sweep, and schedule a follow-up burn-season inspection to verify the glaze broke loose.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process
- 1
Call and scheduling. A live person answers, checks our calendar for your Atlanta neighborhood, and books a two-hour window. You get a text when your tech is en route.
- 2
Arrival and protection. The tech lays floor protection, confirms the Olympia model from your installation paperwork or our previous job photos, and runs a preliminary smoke test if draft complaints brought you in.
- 3
Level 2 camera inspection. We send the camera down the full flue length, recording video and stills of every joint, offset, and the smoke chamber. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job, and we’ve done it since 2009.
- 4
Written price and scope. Before any cleaning or repair starts, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1, H.A.V.E.N. “Have it in writing.” No exceptions.
- 5
Cleaning and any repair. We rotary-sweep to NFPA 211 standards, remove debris with HEPA vacuum, and perform any agreed repair with OEM Olympia parts or quality aftermarket equivalents from our DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or Copperfield inventory.
- 6
Final documentation and test. Post-work camera verification, draft measurement, and a printed or emailed photo report with your 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped at the bottom.

Why Atlanta Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Atlanta for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of Atlanta’s inventory runs Olympia components from the 2015-2020 installation boom. Corrine Halstead and our crew know the ProFlex seam pattern, the pre-2019 damper frame issue, and which Olympia parts cross-reference to DuraFlex or Gelco when lead times stretch. The camera doesn’t negotiate, it just shows you what’s there. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the creosote returns early or a seal fails, we make it right. Background-checked, uniformed techs. License on the page. Written price before work starts. Live phone, 24/7.
FAQs
No, annual professional cleaning is required under Olympia’s warranty terms, but the work must be performed by a qualified technician and documented. We provide the dated photo record and written service report that Olympia requests if you ever file a claim. Keep your paperwork, call (470) 435-7984 if you need a copy.
Common Olympia caps, dampers, and ProFlex connector pieces ship to our Atlanta warehouse in 3-5 business days. For older series discontinued after 2019, we often source compatible aftermarket parts from Famco or Copperfield through our Haven buying network, same week. We never let a job sit waiting for parts we can match.
Replace if the camera shows multiple seam separations over 12 inches, corrosion holes in the 316Ti wall, or if the liner was sized wrong for your appliance from install. Repair is viable for single-point seam gaps under 3/8 inch, intact crown conditions, and proper sizing. We show you the camera footage and quote both paths in writing before you decide.
NFPA 211 says annually for wood-burning systems, and Atlanta’s mild shoulder seasons mean many homeowners burn November through March only. That pattern actually concentrates creosote, because the flue stays cool between burns. We see the heaviest Class III buildup in systems burned weekends-only. Annual sweep, every calendar year, no exceptions for light use.
Class I and II creosote hardens to glazed Class III, which insulates the flue, reduces draft, and can ignite at temperatures above 1,000°F. In Atlanta’s older neighborhoods with original framing close to the chimney mass, a flue fire spreads fast. Carbon monoxide risk rises with blocked or coated liners. The camera finds it before it becomes an emergency. Call (470) 435-7984 for a free estimate.
