How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney gas fireplace inserts: pilot assembly soot-up. The Olypia 34D and 42D series run a standing pilot that pulls combustion air from the same cavity where dust settles over a Bethlehem winter. After two or three seasons, the pilot orifice narrows, the flame lifts off the thermopile, and the homeowner gets intermittent ignition or none at all. We pull the burner tray, clean the pilot with a proper orifice drill set, and test millivolt output at the valve - not just “blow it out and hope.”
• Olympia Chimney wood-burning fireboxes: rear wall heat shield separation. The Olympia FP-36 and FP-42 units use a refractory panel system with stainless standoffs. In Bethlehem’s freeze-thaw cycle, the panels expand at a different rate than the metal clips, and the rear shield drops or cracks by year eight to twelve. We measure the air gap, source the correct Olympia replacement panel or a HeatShield cerfractory mix if the part is back-ordered, and reset to factory clearance specs.
• Olympia Chimney top-sealing dampers: cable fray at the chimney top. The Olympia Lock-Top damper uses a 3/16″ stainless cable that runs down the flue to a lever handle. Bethlehem’s humidity swings corrode the cable at the eyelet where it exits the damper frame, especially on north-facing stacks in the historic district. We replace with OEM cable when available, or fabricate a marine-grade 316 stainless termination that outlasts the original.
• Olympia Chimney flex liner: creosote glazing in offset chimneys. The Olympia 316Ti flex liner handles Bethlehem’s wet Appalachian hardwood fine, but in older homes around West Broad Street with a 30-degree offset, creosote sheets rather than powders. We run a rotary poly whip followed by a steel whip on inspection rods, then camera-verify the flex is clean and no tears opened at the elbow. A liner tear in an offset is not a sweep-and-pray situation.
• Olympia Chimney direct-vent fireplaces: combustion inlet screen blockage. The DV-42 and DV-54 models draw outside air through a concentric termination that squirrels love to pack with walnut hulls, particularly in Bethlehem’s tree-lined neighborhoods. The fireplace starves for air, soots the glass, and throws a lazy yellow flame. We pull the termination, clear the screen, and check the inner pipe for negative pressure signs - then show you the photo.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks what you’re seeing or smelling, and books a window. We confirm by text.
2. 2
   Arrival and protection. Our technician arrives in a marked van, uniformed, with boot covers and drop cloths. We verify the Olympia Chimney model from the data plate before touching anything.
3. 3
   Level-2 camera inspection. We run a chimney camera and photograph what we find - flue condition, damper operation, firebox integrity, gas valve and burner status. You see the images on a tablet while we explain.
4. 4
   Diagnosis and upfront quote. We name the problem, show the evidence, and quote the repair. OEM Olympia parts when they’re in stock; quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco when lead times stretch or the OEM part is discontinued. You approve before we proceed.
5. 5
   Repair and testing. We complete the work, run combustion analysis on gas units, draft test on wood units, and verify all clearances and controls.
6. 6
   Documentation and guarantee. You receive photos, a plain-English report, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. We clean up, and the invoice matches the estimate exactly.
