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 Liner & Rebuild in Atlanta: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney liner & rebuild service across Atlanta, with most liner replacements and partial rebuilds scheduled within one to two weeks and full rebuilds quoted with a firm start date. Every job starts with a camera-scan inspection, a written price you approve before any work begins, and a documented photo record when we’re done. If your Olympia Chimney liner is showing gaps between tiles, rust streaks at the cleanout, or draft problems that started after a hot fire, the camera will show us exactly what’s happening inside the flue. Call (470) 435-7984 to book your inspection. Estimates are free.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liners in Buckhead and Virginia-Highland basements often develop crevice corrosion at the flex-to-rigid transition where condensation pools. Atlanta’s humidity stays high through October, and that moisture plus acidic flue gas eats the titanium-stabilized seam faster than dry-climate installs. We cut back to sound metal, weld a new rigid section, and sleeve the joint with a DuraFlex condensation collar rated for the same 316Ti alloy.
- Olympia Chimney’s older 304 stainless rigid liners (pre-2018, common in Decatur and East Atlanta renovations) suffer weld-seam cracking after thermal cycling. The 304 alloy handles dry heat fine but fatigues where the chimney passes through an unconditioned attic. We replace with 316Ti or 316L rigid pipe on the vertical run, keeping the original Olympia offset if it’s sound, and document the alloy upgrade in your written warranty.
- Olympia Chimney clay-tile lined systems in Grant Park and Inman Park Craftsman homes show spalling and mortar loss between tiles after a century of freeze-thaw. The camera doesn’t negotiate - it just shows you what’s there. When we find a shifted tile blocking the flue, we pull the damaged course and install a stainless liner sized to the appliance’s BTU output, not the chimney’s old inside diameter.
- Olympia Chimney top-sealing dampers integrated with factory-built chase covers corrode at the hinge pin, letting rainwater run straight down the flue. The damper frame is often welded to the chase cover, so replacing one means addressing both. We source Gelco or Famco chase covers with standalone damper brackets, preserving your Olympia Chimney liner warranty by not modifying factory-welded components.
- Olympia Chimney’s smooth-wall flexible liners in tight-flue installs can ovalize during pulling if the chimney has an offset sharper than 30 degrees. That ovalization reduces draft and catches creosote. We use a DuraFlex Pro liner with a thicker .006″ wall and a pre-formed elbow kit for offsets over 25 degrees, pulled with a controlled winch setup rather than muscle alone.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process
- 1
Camera-scan inspection (NFPA 211 Level 2). Corrine or one of our technicians runs the camera the full flue length, records video, and notes liner alloy, seam condition, tile pattern, and any obstruction. You get the footage before we discuss price.
- 2
Written scope and price. We specify OEM Olympia Chimney parts versus quality aftermarket alternatives (DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco), explain why we’re recommending each, and give one flat price. No work starts until you have this in writing - Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 3
Parts procurement through Haven’s buying network. We source Olympia Chimney-compatible materials at cost-plus terms, which keeps your price honest. If Olympia’s lead time is long, we flag it now, not after we’ve started.
- 4
Liner pull or rebuild execution. Flexible liners get pulled with controlled tension and offset elbows as needed. Rebuilds are staged course-by-course with moisture barriers and proper crown slope. A second tech verifies every critical dimension.
- 5
Smoke test and draft measurement. We verify negative pressure at the firebox and document flue gas velocity. The numbers go in your file with the photos.
- 6
Written warranty and 365-Day Done Right Promise. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires the photo record; the Done Right Promise means if anything’s not right, we make it right. Both are stamped and delivered before we leave.

| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Olympia Chimney flexible liner replacement (single flue, standard height) | $2,800 - $4,200 | Flue length, offset count, alloy grade (304 vs. 316Ti), access difficulty |
| Olympia Chimney rigid liner replacement with offset elbows | $3,400 - $5,100 | Number of rigid sections, chase modification, insulation wrap requirements |
| Partial chimney rebuild (above roofline, liner preserved) | $4,500 - $7,800 | Courses to replace, crown reconstruction, scaffolding needs |
| Full chimney rebuild with new Olympia Chimney-compatible liner | $8,500 - $14,000 | Foundation condition, hearth extension, multiple flues, historic district requirements |
| Liner repair (patch, seam weld, or collar replacement) | $680 - $1,400 | Accessibility, whether liner must be partially pulled |
These are real ranges from Atlanta jobs we’ve completed in neighborhoods from Kirkwood to Sandy Springs. Your exact price depends on what the camera shows, not a phone guess. Call (470) 435-7984 for a free estimate - we’ll inspect, document, and quote in writing before any work starts.

FAQs
No - as an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we follow manufacturer installation specs and use OEM-compatible parts, which preserves warranty coverage. We document alloy grades, part numbers, and installation methods in your photo record so any future warranty claim has supporting evidence. Call (470) 435-7984 if you have a specific warranty concern.
Most flexible liner replacements are completed in one day; rigid liner installs and partial rebuilds typically run one to two days. Full rebuilds are staged across three to five days depending on weather and masonry cure time. We give you a firm schedule in writing before work starts - no “we’ll see when we get there.” Call (470) 435-7984 to check current availability.
Repair makes sense for isolated seam gaps, collar corrosion, or a single cracked tile with sound surrounding structure. Replacement is the better call when we find multiple tile failures, wall thinning under 10% of original thickness, or corrosion patterns that suggest systemic moisture intrusion. The camera footage shows you exactly which category you’re in, and we price both options when it’s a close call. Call (470) 435-7984 for an inspection and written comparison.
We stock common Olympia Chimney-compatible liners, collars, and fittings through Haven’s buying network, and we source from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco as alternatives when OEM lead times stretch. If a specific Olympia part is backordered, we tell you during the estimate phase and specify the equivalent we’re substituting, with alloy and pressure ratings that match or exceed original spec. Call (470) 435-7984 to confirm parts availability for your model.
NFPA 211 recommends annual inspection for all chimney systems, including factory-built and lined masonry. In Atlanta, where we burn fewer cord-wood hours than northern climates, some Olympia Chimney gas liner owners stretch to every two years, but we don’t recommend it - the camera often finds condensation damage or animal nesting that hasn’t produced symptoms yet. The inspection includes a photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4, and it’s free with any sweep. Call (470) 435-7984 to schedule.
