This page is for Bethlehem homeowners who have an Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner, flexible liner, or factory-built chimney system showing signs of failure, or who need a partial or full rebuild after water damage, freeze-thaw damage, or years of deferred maintenance. If you’ve owned your home twenty years or more, you’re our people.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liners in the OL series develop circumferential cracking at the flex points where Bethlehem’s freeze-thaw cycles stress the titanium-stabilized steel. The 316Ti alloy resists acid corrosion but work-hardens at stress concentrators. We replace with a new Olympia-compatible 316Ti liner or upgrade to a heavier-gauge DuraFlex Pro when the appliance output demands it.
• Olympia rigid 304 stainless liners in the OR series suffer seam separation at the rolled-lock joints, especially in the first ten feet above the smoke chamber where condensation pools. Homeowners smell a cold, metallic odor on humid days before they see any performance drop. We pull the failed section, inspect the surrounding masonry for acid wash damage, and install a new rigid run with proper condensate drainage.
• Olympia chimney systems with factory-built metal chimneys (OlyVent series) show chase cover rot at the corners where Bethlehem’s driving rains collect. The galvanized chase covers are often the first failure, but water migrating behind the chase wall destroys the liner support and framing. We replace the chase cover in copper or stainless, rebuild the chase wall if needed, and verify liner integrity with a camera before we close.
• Olympia smooth-wall liners in the OLS series delaminate at the interior crease points when subjected to over-firing, common in Bethlehem’s older homes where homeowners crank drafty fireplaces to compensate for poor insulation. The delamination creates turbulent flow and rapid creosote buildup. We assess whether a HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing can save the existing liner or if full replacement is the honest call.
• Olympia chimney caps and termination assemblies clog with creosote in Bethlehem’s oak-heavy burning zones, particularly in the neighborhoods west of the Lehigh where homeowners burn seasoned hardwood six months a year. The restricted flow accelerates liner corrosion from the inside. We clean and inspect, replace the cap with a Gelco or Olympia-compatible model with proper mesh spacing, and document liner condition with photos you can see.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Live answer, real scheduling. A person answers when you call (610) 595-5754, day or night. We book your Level-2 inspection at a time that works, and we show up when we say.
2. 2
   Camera inspection with photo documentation. Our technician runs a chimney camera from top to bottom, capturing every crack, joint, and creosote deposit. You get the photos and a plain-English verdict before any work is proposed.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM-compatible or professional upgrade. We stock Olympia Chimney-compatible liners and components. If your system allows a quality aftermarket upgrade to DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco that improves durability, we explain the trade-off honestly. No builder-grade substitutes.
4. 4
   The repair, done right. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in a single visit. Full rebuilds may need a second day. We protect your floors, work clean, and don’t leave until the job is finished.
5. 5
   Post-repair test and documentation. We run a smoke test or draft test to verify proper venting, photograph the completed work, and provide written documentation for your records.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. In writing, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard we’ve operated under since 1984.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Bethlehem
