How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Check for Each One

Olympia Chimney builds solid stainless steel chimney systems, but every product line has predictable wear points. Here’s what we look for on Olympia Chimney inspections in Alpharetta, and what we do when we find it.

• Ventis Class A chimney pipe seam separation. Olympia’s Ventis line uses a twist-lock connection system, and over years of heating and cooling cycles in Georgia’s humid summers followed by cold snaps, those seams can work loose. We check every visible joint with a camera, and when we find separation, we re-seat the connection rather than telling you to replace the whole pipe. That alone saves Alpharetta homeowners hundreds of dollars.
• Olympia chase cover rust-through around the collar. The galvanized chase covers on older Olympia installations tend to corrode first where the chimney pipe passes through. Alpharetta’s summer thunderstorms sit water right on that collar, and we typically find pinhole rust before it becomes a roof leak. Depending on the size of the chase, a replacement cover runs $285 to $550 installed.
• Creosote buildup behind the spark arrestor. Olympia caps with factory spark arrestors catch creosote faster than open caps because the mesh creates more surface area for condensation. In the Windward community near the lake, where older wood-burning fireplaces run hot and the lake air adds moisture, we regularly see arrestors that are 60 to 70 percent blocked. A simple sweep resolves it; ignoring it means draft problems and a stronger chance of chimney fire.
• Flashing failures on Olympia’s taller chase installations. Homes in Alpharetta subdivisions like Windward and Crabapple often have chases that rise three to four feet above the roofline. That extra height puts more stress on the flashing, and the freeze-thaw cycle we get in January and February eventually cracks the sealant. We inspect the flashing on every Olympia chimney job and replace it with weather-rated sealant that holds up to Georgia’s wet winters.
• Ventis double-wall interior pipe warping. We don’t see it often, but when we do, it’s almost always on a unit that’s been run with the damper closed, or on a homeowner-installed pipe that isn’t rated for the stove’s output. Warped interior walls are a red flag on any chimney inspection, and on Olympia systems, we always check the inner wall with a camera before we sign off on the flue.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Inspection Process

Every Olympia Chimney inspection we perform in Alpharetta follows the same careful sequence, so you know what’s happening from the moment we arrive.

1. 1
   We protect the house first. Shoe covers go on at the door, drop cloths go down around the fireplace and the hearth, and we ask before moving any furniture near the work area. That’s the C.A.R.E. value, and it’s not optional on our crew.
2. 2
   We run a camera through the full flue. From the firebox to the termination cap, we record the video and show it to you on a tablet before we clean anything. You see what we see.
3. 3
   We check the Olympia-specific points. Seam connections, chase cover condition, flashing, spark arrestor, and the interior pipe wall. We know where Olympia systems wear, so we look there first.
4. 4
   We give you a written price before any work starts. If we find something that needs attention, you get a clear quote on the spot. No pressure, no phone calls to a supervisor, no surprise invoices.
5. 5
   We do the work or schedule it. If the fix is straightforward, we usually complete it the same day. If it’s a bigger job, we schedule a return visit that fits your calendar.
6. 6
   We photograph the cleanup. Before our crew leaves your Alpharetta home, you get a photo of the clean workspace. Floors, hearth, and surrounding area are left the way we found them, minus the creosote in your flue.
