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.
Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair in Atlanta: What to Know First
Level Two Chimney Atlanta provides independent Olympia Chimney chimney repair across Atlanta and nearby areas, with most repairs quoted and scheduled within 48 hours of your call. We charge nothing for the estimate, and every written price includes a camera-scan inspection of the flue so you see what we see before deciding. Typical Olympia Chimney repair jobs in Atlanta run $450 to $2,800 depending on whether we’re repointing mortar, rebuilding a spalling crown, or replacing a failed liner section.
This page is for Atlanta homeowners who installed an Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner, cap, or damper and now need repair work done right. We are not affiliated with Olympia Chimney - we are an independent service provider - and we service all Olympia Chimney product lines alongside DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco systems. If you’re seeing water stains near your fireplace, crumbling brick on the chimney face, or draft problems that started after a hard freeze, call us at (470) 435-7984. We’ll send a written price before any work starts, and you’ll get a documented photo record when it’s done.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Olympia Chimney builds solid stainless steel liners and accessories, but Atlanta’s clay-heavy soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and the occasional summer storm beating horizontal rain against a chimney face will test any system. Here is what we find on Olympia Chimney jobs in Atlanta homes:
- Olympia 316Ti flexible liner: seam separation at the tee connection. The 316Ti series handles high-heat appliances well, but the tee body where the liner meets the thimble can work loose after five to ten years of thermal cycling, especially in Atlanta’s older Decatur and Grant Park homes with offset flues. We camera-scan to confirm the gap, then either reseat with an Olympia OEM tee or, if the original is too distorted, source a compatible HeatShield tee that maintains the same inner diameter and draft characteristics.
- Olympia chimney cap: mesh screen collapse from creosote glazing. The standard Olympia cap uses 5/8-inch mesh that traps Class III glazed creosote during Atlanta’s humid shoulder seasons when homeowners burn intermittently. Once the mesh is more than 50 percent blocked, combustion gases back-puff into the room. We replace with a Gelco cap with 3/4-inch mesh and a stainless steel drip edge, or clean and reset the original if the frame is still square.
- Olympia top-sealing damper: cable fray or housing corrosion. The cast-aluminum housing on Olympia’s top-sealing dampers holds up poorly if the chimney crown has cracked and water pools on the flue top - common in Atlanta’s Inman Park Craftsman homes with original crowns. We replace the cable and housing, then address the crown leak so it doesn’t happen again in two seasons.
- Olympia flue stretch: condensation staining on the stainless wall. When an Olympia liner is oversized for a modern, efficient insert, the flue gas cools before exit and condenses into acidic moisture that etches the 316Ti wall. We measure the appliance output against the liner diameter, then either downsize with a properly matched Olympia liner section or install a HeatShield Cerfractory seal to reduce the effective diameter at the correct ratio.
- Olympia chimney crown: spalling and rebar exposure. Olympia does not manufacture crowns, but many Atlanta installers pair their liners with poured concrete crowns that crack within eight to twelve years. We remove the damaged crown, pour a new sloped crown with integral drip edge, and reset the Olympia cap with a bead of high-temp silicone - not the standard mortar bed that cracks again in two winters.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks Corrine’s calendar or a technician’s, and books a two-hour arrival window. You get a text when we’re fifteen minutes out.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera scan. We run a chimney camera down the full flue length, document the liner wall, joints, and any offset distortion. The camera doesn’t negotiate - it just shows you what’s there. Photos and video are saved to your job record under Haven Standard Clause 4.
- 3
Written price and scope. Before any tool touches your chimney, you receive a written price, a written scope of work, and a written warranty. This is Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing. No exceptions.
- 4
Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. If your repair needs a new Olympia component, we source through Haven’s buying network. If Olympia lead time is long or the part is discontinued, we specify a DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco equivalent and explain the trade-off in writing.
- 5
Repair and test. We complete the repair, run a post-work camera scan to verify joint integrity and draft, and test the appliance under operating conditions.
- 6
Documentation and cleanup. You receive a second photo record showing the completed work, a written warranty, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We sweep the work area before we leave.

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 now runs Olympia Chimney liners and caps installed during the 2015-2020 home sale boom. Corrine Halstead and our technicians know the difference between a 316Ti and a 304 flex, and we stock the common Olympia failure parts - tee bodies, adapter collars, top-sealing damper cables - so you’re not waiting three weeks for a liner section while burning season starts.
Our background-checked, uniformed technicians carry license information on every page of their paperwork. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right. And because we also service DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco systems, we can offer an honest repair-versus-replace opinion when an Olympia part is back-ordered or discontinued - not a sales pitch, just the options in writing.
FAQs
No, if the repair is done with OEM or equivalent parts and documented properly. Olympia Chimney’s warranty covers manufacturing defects, not installation or wear issues. We use parts sourced through Haven’s buying network that meet or exceed OEM spec, and we document everything so any future warranty claim on the original liner remains valid. Call (470) 435-7984 if you need help interpreting your warranty paperwork.
Common Olympia tee bodies, adapter collars, and cap mesh screens arrive in three to five business days through our Haven network. Discontinued liner diameters or specialty offset components can run two to three weeks. We keep HeatShield and DuraFlex equivalents in stock for urgent cases, and we’ll tell you both timelines in writing before you decide. Call (470) 435-7984 to check current availability.
Replace if the liner wall shows pinholing, more than two seam separations, or heat deformation exceeding NFPA 211 limits. Repair if the damage is isolated to a tee joint, a single offset wrinkle, or a cap/damper issue. Our camera scan shows you the difference. We have written up repairs that safely bought Atlanta homeowners another six to eight years, and we’ve recommended full replacement when the 316Ti wall was too thin to trust. Call (470) 435-7984 for a camera inspection and honest assessment.
Most non-emergency repairs are scheduled within two business days, with the actual repair completed in one visit for cap, damper, or repointing work. Crown rebuilds and partial rebuilds requiring scaffold may need a second day. We do not promise same-day dispatch, but we do answer the phone live 24/7 and will book the first available slot that works for your calendar. Call (470) 435-7984 to schedule.
Small cracks in mortar or crown become water pathways that rust the liner, rot adjacent framing, and in worst cases lead to chimney fires from creosote buildup or carbon monoxide intrusion from a separated liner joint. The risk is real but not immediate in every case - our camera scan tells you whether you have months or seasons. We will say plainly when work can safely wait. Call (470) 435-7984 for a free inspection and timeline.
