How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Chimney liner collar separation on Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liners. The 316Ti series uses a titanium-stabilized stainless collar at the top plate that can work loose after repeated thermal cycling, especially in Falls Church’s freeze-thaw winters. We find this during Level-2 camera inspection: a visible gap between collar and flue wall that lets combustion gases leak into the chase. We reseat with OEM collar hardware or, if the collar is cracked, replace with a matching Olympia component and pressure-test the joint.
• Condensation corrosion in Olympia Chimney gas fireplace inserts. The GDIZ series and earlier direct-vent inserts were shipped with a single-wall termination cap that pools condensation in humid Virginia summers. Owners smell a metallic sourness in fall when they first fire the unit. We upgrade to a balanced-flush termination with a drip edge, inspect the firebox pan for pinhole rust, and replace the burner if corrosion has reached the orifices.
• Damper flutter and stuck operation on Olympia Chimney top-sealing dampers. The Lock-Top damper, common on Olympia Chimney relines from the 2000s, uses a silicone seal that hardens after seven to ten years. The cable housing also binds with creosote if the chimney was not swept annually. We free the mechanism, replace the seal with a fresh Olympia gasket or a Gelco equivalent rated for the same temperature range, and document the repair with photos.
• Firebox refractory panel cracking in Olympia Chimney zero-clearance wood fireplaces. The FPX series panels are shipped in three pieces to allow expansion, but the factory refractory mix is prone to hairline cracking if the unit is overfired with dry hardwood common in Falls Church, where oak and hickory are easy to come by. We measure panel thickness with a micrometer, source matching Olympia panels or a HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing if the crack has not penetrated to the metal wrapper, and never guess at clearances.
• Pilot assembly failure on Olympia Chimney vented gas log sets. The NG/NGX series uses a standing pilot with a thermopile that degrades faster than the main burner in our hard-water region, where mineral scale builds on the sensing bulb. The symptom is a pilot that lights but drops out after two minutes. We descale or replace the assembly, check gas pressure at the manifold with a manometer, and verify the thermopile output in millivolts before we call it fixed.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. We ask the model name or series if you know it, the symptoms, and when you last had service. We schedule a window and email a confirmation.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection on arrival. Our technician photographs the firebox, damper, flue, and termination. You see the images on a tablet as we explain what needs doing, what can wait, and what does not need doing at all.
3. 3
   Parts decision with options. If an Olympia OEM part is in stock, we quote it. If lead time is two weeks or more, we offer a quality aftermarket equivalent from our DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or Famco inventory and explain the trade-off in writing.
4. 4
   Repair with the estimate locked. The number we agreed to is the number on the invoice. No surprises. Most Olympia Chimney fireplace repairs finish in two to four hours.
5. 5
   Combustion test and documentation. We run the unit through its full cycle, check CO levels at the termination, and leave you with photos, a plain-English report, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. We haul away old parts, lay down fresh drop cloths, and a live person checks in within ten days to confirm you’re satisfied.
