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.

AfterOlympia Chimney Chimney Repair in Lansdale: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney repair in Lansdale, with most repairs scheduled within a week and a written price delivered before any work starts. Our typical Olympia Chimney job runs $340 to $1,800 depending on whether we’re repointing mortar, rebuilding a crown, or replacing a liner section. Every repair includes an NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection so you see the failure before we touch it.
This page is for homeowners in Lansdale, Hatfield, and North Wales who installed an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or chase cover between 2015 and 2023 and now need repair work done right. Corrine Halstead and our crew have serviced Olympia Chimney products across Montgomery County since 2009. Call (267) 327-4785 for a free written estimate.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney ProFlex liner series: The 316Ti flex liner with the original corrugated outer wall can develop fatigue cracks at the first offset above the smoke chamber, especially in Lansdale’s freeze-thaw cycles. We’ve found this on twelve ProFlex installs in the North Penn School District area since 2019. We sleeve the damaged section with a matching ProFlex coupling or, if the run is short enough, pull a new DuraFlex liner through the existing chase. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
- Olympia Chimney Gelco cap and chase cover line: The 304 stainless stock caps sold through big-box channels in 2017-2020 came with spot-welded corner seams that open under thermal cycling. Water enters, freezes, and spalls the brick beneath. We replace with a fully seam-welded Gelco cap or a custom-fab Copperfield unit, then repoint the damaged course with Type N mortar matched to the existing joint profile.
- Olympia Chimney HeatShield-compatible refractory panels: The factory panels in HeatShield-prefab fireplaces crack at the rear wall joint after roughly 8-12 seasons of oak or hickory burning, common in Lansdale’s older colonials near the Merrick Road corridor. We pour a new HeatShield cerfractory slurry lining, troweled to 1/4 inch, which restores the original UL 1777 clearance rating without a full firebox rebuild.
- Olympia Chimney masonry chimney crown (poured concrete): The standard 2-inch overhang specified in Olympia’s installation manual rarely holds up where Pennsylvania’s driving rain meets southeast-exposed chimneys. We see this on split-levels in the Upper Gwynedd area. We cut back to sound concrete, pour a new crown with a 4-inch drip edge and integral expansion joint, then seal with a siloxane-based waterproofing agent.
- Olympia Chimney terra cotta flue liner (original equipment in pre-2010 Lansdale builds): Vertical cracking at the flue gas condensation line, usually 18-24 inches down from the top, caused by sustained below-dew-point exhaust from modern high-efficiency inserts. We remove the damaged terra cotta course and drop a stainless Olympia Chimney rigid liner or, for offsets that won’t take rigid, a ProFlex equivalent with an insulation wrap.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

Call and schedule. A live person answers 24/7. We book a Level 2 inspection with camera scan. You get a text when your tech is en route.

Inspect and document. We run the camera the full flue length, photograph the failure, and record liner condition, clearance measurements, and creosote class. This becomes your documented photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4.
- 3
Diagnose and price. Corrine or your assigned tech writes up findings in plain numbers: condition, clearance, cost. The written scope, written price, and written warranty are delivered before anyone starts work. Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 4
Source parts. We pull OEM Olympia Chimney components through our Haven buying network when they’re the right fit, or specify quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield when they outperform the factory equivalent at honest pricing.
- 5
Repair and test. We execute the scope, run a post-repair camera verification, and test draft and spillage with a manometer. You watch the second camera run if you want.

Clean up and guarantee. We leave the work area cleaner than we found it. Your job is stamped with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right.

FAQs
Using an independent service provider does not automatically void an Olympia Chimney warranty, but warranty coverage for the liner itself typically requires OEM parts and installation per factory specifications. We document every repair with photos and written scope so you have a clear record if warranty questions arise. If your ProFlex or rigid liner is still under factory warranty, we’ll flag that before we start and advise whether OEM or aftermarket serves you better. Call (267) 327-4785 to discuss your specific install.
Most common Olympia Chimney parts - ProFlex couplings, standard-diameter rigid sections, and Gelco cap sizes - ship to our Lansdale warehouse within 3-5 business days through our Haven buying network. Custom diameters or discontinued series may take 7-10 days. We never start work until parts are in hand and you’ve approved the written scope. Call (267) 327-4785 to check availability for your model.
The camera decides, not us. A single cracked flue tile or localized mortar failure usually repairs cleanly. Multiple vertical cracks, liner sections with more than 1/4-inch separation, or a crown that has shifted off the brick course typically mean replacement is the honest call. We show you both options in writing with prices for each, and we tell you plainly when work can safely wait a season. Call (267) 327-4785 for a free camera inspection.
Untreated mortar failure lets water into the wall cavity, which in Lansdale’s freeze-thaw climate turns a $400 repointing job into a $1,800 rebuild within two winters. A cracked flue liner can leak combustion gases including carbon monoxide into living space, or allow creosote to ignite in the chimney chase. We don’t scare-sell - we show you the camera footage and let the finding speak. Call (267) 327-4785 if you’re unsure whether your condition is urgent.
No. We repair and install across multiple brands including DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield. Olympia Chimney products are common in Lansdale homes built or renovated between 2015 and 2023, so we stock parts and train specifically on their failure modes. If your system mixes brands or you’re unsure what you have, the camera identifies it in the first five minutes of inspection. Call (267) 327-4785 to schedule.
