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.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liners in coastal Toms River: The titanium-stabilized steel resists acid well, but we’ve found the corrugated sections trap more condensation in our humid summers than smoother-wall competitors. That standing water accelerates pinhole corrosion at the lower flue joints, especially in ranch-style homes with shorter exterior chimneys. We pull a camera to confirm the extent, then either splice in a matching 316Ti section or recommend a full replacement with improved insulation if the damage is widespread.
- Olympia Chimney rigid stainless elbows in multi-story colonial flues: The 45-degree and 90-degree elbows are precisely fabricated, but the weld seams at the throat can crack after 15-20 years of thermal cycling. In Toms River’s older North Dover neighborhoods, we see this on original installations from the early 2000s. We source exact-diameter replacement elbows or fabricate transitions on-site when the original part is discontinued.
- Olympia Chimney oval-to-round adapters in fireplace inserts: These adapters see the most concentrated heat in the system. When they deform, exhaust leaks into the smoke chamber and you smell it before you see it. We remove the insert, inspect the adapter with a borescope, and replace it with a heavier-gauge OEM or DuraFlex equivalent rated for the actual appliance output.
- Olympia Chimney top plates and storm collars: The factory sealant dries hard and shrinks after a decade of Jersey freeze-thaw. Water runs down the flue pipe, not the liner, and rots the surrounding masonry from the inside. We reflash with copper or stainless custom-fit plates, never just caulk over the old sealant.
- Olympia Chimney insulation blankets on exterior chimneys: The original mesh-and-blanket wrap settles over time, creating cold spots where creosote condenses heavily. In Toms River, where we burn longer into March than inland counties, that buildup becomes a real hazard. We re-insulate with HeatShield Cerfractory foam or replace with a pre-insulated flexible liner, depending on access and budget.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process
- 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 any symptoms. We book a Level-2 inspection with camera.
- 2
Camera inspection and documentation. Our technician runs a borescope from top and bottom, photographing every joint, seam, and surface defect. You see the images on a tablet. We explain what’s wrong, what can wait, and what cannot.
- 3
Parts decision. If your Olympia Chimney part is still in production, we quote OEM. If it’s discontinued, we specify a quality aftermarket equivalent from DuraFlex, Gelco, or HeatShield - never a builder-grade substitute. You approve the exact part and price before we order.
- 4
The repair. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in one visit. Full chimney rebuilds may take two days. We protect your floors and hearth, and we clean as we go.
- 5
Post-repair testing. We pressure-test or smoke-test every liner joint, verify draft with a manometer, and run a final camera pass to confirm clear passage.
- 6
Written guarantee and cleanup. You receive a photo report, the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and an invoice that matches the estimate. No arguing, no paperwork chase.

Why Toms River Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve been sweeping and rebuilding chimneys in Ocean County for over 42 years, and Russell Haines has spent the better part of two decades on the older wood-burning fireplaces over in Silverton. The flue doesn’t lie. Neither do we. Our Level-2 inspections end with photos and a plain-English verdict - documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we come back, in writing, no arguing. We work with professional-grade materials from Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, so we’re not locked into one supplier’s timeline or inventory. Most jobs finish in a single visit. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed by a qualified chimney professional using compatible materials. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use OEM or equivalent-spec parts and document everything, so warranty questions don’t arise. If your liner is under manufacturer warranty, we can work with you to preserve that coverage. Call (609) 303-9679 and we’ll review your paperwork.
A properly installed 316Ti flexible liner typically lasts 15-25 years, but we’ve seen them fail in 10 when paired with an oversized appliance or poor draft. In Toms River’s coastal climate, the salt air and humidity add stress that inland installations don’t face. Annual inspection catches problems before they become replacements.
Usually yes. We maintain relationships with multiple suppliers and can fabricate transitions on-site when needed. DuraFlex and Gelco make compatible fittings for most Olympia Chimney diameters. We never leave a job half-finished because a part is backordered.
The camera tells the story. Isolated cracks or a single failed joint mean repair. Multiple perforations, extensive corrosion, or a liner pulling away from the top plate means replacement. If the surrounding masonry is spalled, the crown is cracked through, or the chimney leans, we discuss rebuild options. Nothing is recommended without photo evidence you can see.
We answer live 24 hours a day, and we schedule inspections within a few days, faster when there’s an active leak or safety concern. Most Olympia Chimney liner replacements are completed in one visit once parts are on hand. Call (609) 303-9679 to book - estimates are free.
