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 Cleaning & Sweep in Lansdale: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cleaning and sweep services in Lansdale, typically booking within 3-5 days during peak season and 1-2 days off-season. Every visit includes an NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection, a written price before any work starts, and a documented photo record under Clause 4 of the Haven Standard. This page is for Olympia Chimney owners in Lansdale who want to know what their specific liner, cap, or flue needs without a sales pitch. Call (267) 327-4785 for a free estimate.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia 316Ti flexible liner series: creosote adhesion in the corrugations. The 316Ti’s titanium-stabilized stainless corrugations resist acid corrosion, but the valleys trap Class II and III creosote more stubbornly than smooth-wall alternatives. In Lansdale, where homeowners burn seasoned hardwood from Montgomery County suppliers, we see this most in installations with marginal flue temperatures. We remove buildup with rotary poly or wire whips sized to the corrugation pitch, then camera-verify every valley is clean.
- Olympia Pro-Form rigid liner: joint separation at the collar-lock seam. The Pro-Form’s push-together collar system installs fast, but thermal cycling in Lansdale’s freeze-thaw winters works the seam over seasons. During sweep and inspection, we check collar engagement with a borescope; if the gap exceeds 1/8 inch, we document it and quote re-sealing with high-temp silicone or collar replacement. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
- Olympia chimney cap with integrated spark arrestor: mesh fatigue and rust-through. The 304 stainless mesh on older Olympia caps fatigues at the weld points, particularly on north-facing exposures in Lansdale where meltwater refreezes. We note mesh integrity during every sweep; replacement with OEM or Famco equivalent is quoted in writing if daylight shows through.
- Olympia Heat-Fab Saf-T Liner: premature acid etching in gas conversions. When Lansdale homeowners switch from oil to gas without updating the liner, the Saf-T Liner’s alloy isn’t rated for condensing flue gases. We identify the mismatch on camera, measure wall thickness with a pit gauge, and quote appropriate replacement - often DuraFlex or a new Olympia gas-rated liner.
- Olympia top-sealing damper: cable fray and seal degradation. The silicone seal on Olympia top dampers stiffens after 8-12 Pennsylvania winters, and the stainless cable can bird-cage where it passes through the throat. During sweep access, we cycle the damper, photograph seal contact, and quote repair or upgrade to a Gelco or Copperfield equivalent if OEM parts are back-ordered.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process
- 1
Schedule and confirm. You call (267) 327-4785, a live person answers, and we book a window. You get a text when your tech is en route.
- 2
Arrive and protect. Background-checked, uniformed technician arrives with license visible. Drop cloths from truck to hearth. We verify the Olympia Chimney model from your installation paperwork or collar stamp.
- 3
Camera inspection first. NFPA 211 Level 2 scan down the flue before any cleaning. We record liner condition, creosote class, joint integrity, and any obstruction. You see what we see on the monitor.
- 4
Written price, written scope. Before tools touch the flue, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty under Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions. If the camera shows only a standard sweep, that’s the price. If it shows liner damage, we quote that separately.
- 5
Clean with Olympia-appropriate tools. Rotary system sized to your liner diameter and corrugation pattern. HEPA vacuum containment. We source brushes and whips through our Haven buying network, including Olympia-compatible fittings when OEM geometry matters.
- 6
Post-clean camera verification and documentation. Second camera run proves the flue is clear. Photos, footage, and written findings are archived under Clause 4. You get a copy before we leave. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies.

Why Lansdale Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Lansdale for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve swept and inspected more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a significant share in Lansdale run Olympia Chimney liners or caps. Corrine Halstead’s crew knows the difference between a 316Ti and a Pro-Form by the collar stamp, and we stock the fittings that fit. Our Haven Standard means you get the same documentation an insurance adjuster or home inspector would ask for: photos, readings, written scope, written warranty. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll give you a free second opinion. Materials come through our buying network - DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, Copperfield - so we’re not pushing one brand because it’s all we carry. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job. Live phone support, 24/7.
FAQs
No. Routine chimney cleaning and inspection by a qualified professional does not void Olympia Chimney’s liner warranty, provided the work doesn’t damage the liner through improper tools or excessive abrasion. We use rotary systems sized to your liner’s corrugation pitch and document condition before and after under Haven Standard Clause 4. If you’re concerned, we can photograph the manufacturer’s stamp and installation tag during the visit. Call (267) 327-4785 to schedule.
Once per burning season for wood-burning systems, or when 1/8 inch of creosote buildup is present - whichever comes first. In Lansdale, where many homeowners burn hardwood from Montgomery County suppliers, we find the 1/8-inch threshold is typically reached after a full season of weekend use. Gas systems need annual inspection but rarely need sweeping unless debris or animal nesting is found. We check both during the Level 2 camera scan. Call (267) 327-4785 for a free estimate.
We source both. For collar replacements and proprietary fittings, we use Olympia Chimney OEM parts through our Haven buying network. For caps, dampers, and spark arrestors where geometry is standard, we often quote Famco or Copperfield equivalents that match or exceed OEM specs at lower cost. We tell you which we’re proposing and why before you sign. Call (267) 327-4785 for specifics on your model.
It depends on what the camera shows, not the calendar. A 316Ti liner in good condition with intact seams and adequate wall thickness can continue service; a Pro-Form with multiple collar separations or pitting below minimum gauge should be replaced. We measure, photograph, and quote both options in writing. Replacement liners from DuraFlex or new Olympia systems are available through our network. Call (267) 327-4785 for a free inspection.
Typically 3-5 days during burning season (October through March) and 1-2 days April through September. We don’t promise same-day dispatch, but we do answer the phone live 24/7 and hold scheduled windows. Emergency blockages or suspected flue fires get prioritized. Call (267) 327-4785 to book.
