How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti stainless liners in the OFC series develop pinhole corrosion at the weld seams where Flushing’s salt-laden winter air meets condensation inside the flue. We’ve pulled OFC liners in Kissena Park homes that looked fine from the top but leaked CO at the seam line. We cut out the failed section and splice in a matching gauge replacement, or upgrade to a heavier 304L or 316L if the appliance runs hot.
• The Olympia Chimney flexible liner kits (OFL series) collapse at the collar connection where the flex meets the rigid tee - especially in Queens basements with low headroom that forces a sharp offset. The collar fatigue isn’t always visible until we run the camera. We replace with a factory-matched tee or, when clearance is tight, fabricate a custom transition from DuraFlex components that holds the bend without kinking.
• Olympia Chimney’s poured refractory systems (OPC series) crack radially around the smoke chamber in homes built before 1960 with oversized flues common to Flushing’s pre-war stock. The poured liner shrinks away from the brick, creating a gap that collects creosote. We remove the loose refractory and reline with a stainless insert sized to the appliance, or apply HeatShield Cerfractory foam when the existing structure is sound enough to bond to.
• Olympia Chimney cast-in-place systems (OCC series) spall at the thimble penetration where the liner meets the appliance connector - a spot that takes thermal shock every firing cycle. In Bowne Street-era houses with original masonry, this often means the thimble itself has shifted. We rebuild the thimble in refractory brick and install a new connector, or sleeve the penetration with a Gelco high-temperature adapter if the surrounding masonry is stable.
• Olympia Chimney’s older galvanized flue systems rot from the inside out in Flushing’s freeze-thaw climate, where humid exhaust condenses against cold metal for months each winter. The galvanized coating fails at the waterline, and the steel follows fast. We never patch these - full replacement with a stainless liner is the only safe repair, and we document the before condition so you understand why.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask about your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, the appliance type, and what you’re seeing - smoke spillage, water stains, a smell you can’t place.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Russell or one of our techs runs a camera the full length of the flue, records video, and photographs every defect. You see what we see. No verdict without evidence.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your Olympia Chimney component is still manufactured, we quote OEM. If it’s discontinued - some OFC and early OFL lines are - we specify a quality aftermarket equivalent from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco that meets or exceeds the original spec. We explain the trade-off and let you decide.
4. 4
   Upfront pricing, then the work. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Most liner replacements and partial rebuilds finish in one day. Full rebuilds may need two if weather doesn’t cooperate.
5. 5
   Smoke test and documentation. We pressure-test the repaired system, verify draft, and give you photos of the completed work plus a written condition report for your files.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right, we make it right. In writing. No arguing. That’s the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.

Why Flushing Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been serving Flushing since before the 7 train extension was finished - over 42 years now. Russell Haines and our crew know the local housing stock: the balloon-framed colonials near Kissena Boulevard, the brick row houses with shared walls that make liner access a puzzle, the mid-century splits in Pomonok with their oversized fireplaces and undersized flues.

We work on Olympia Chimney systems regularly enough to spot the failure patterns quickly, but we’re not locked to one brand. When an Olympia part is back-ordered or discontinued, we have working relationships with DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco to keep your job moving. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to document everything - photos you can see, a plain-English verdict, and a bill that matches the estimate.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan. It’s in writing. If we miss something, we come back. No paperwork shuffle, no arguing. A clean flue isn’t a luxury. It’s just the job done right.
