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.
Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Kennesaw: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cleaning and sweep services in Kennesaw, with most inspections completed same-week and a written price delivered before any work is scheduled. A standard Level 2 camera inspection and sweep for an Olympia Chimney liner or venting system runs $189-$329 in this market, depending on creosote class and flue accessibility. We write it down before we ask you to decide anything.
This page is for Kennesaw homeowners who installed an Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner, chimney cap, or venting component between 2015 and 2023 and need documented cleaning, inspection, or repair. Corrine Halstead and our crew have worked on hundreds of Olympia Chimney systems in Cobb County, including the older colonials near Kennesaw Mountain where clay-to-steel liner retrofits are common. Call (678) 535-2204 for a written estimate - no verbal quotes, no surprises.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia 316Ti flexible liner: creosote bridging at the tee body. The tee connection on early 316Ti series liners has a slightly sharper interior angle than competing brands, which traps Class II and III creosote where the horizontal meets the vertical. We see this most in Kennesaw homes burning seasoned oak on insert systems with marginal draft. Our fix: mechanical rotary cleaning with a custom-sized poly brush, then a camera pass to confirm the tee is fully open. If the tee is damaged, we source an exact Olympia replacement or a Famco equivalent that matches the 316Ti gauge.
- Olympia Gelco-top chimney cap: mesh corrosion from Atlanta humidity cycles. Kennesaw’s spring and fall humidity swings accelerate galvanic corrosion where the Gelco-top’s 304 mesh meets the cap frame. The mesh doesn’t fail structurally, but the corrosion flakes drop into the flue and mix with soot to form acidic sludge. We remove the cap, document mesh integrity with photos, and either clean and reseat the original or replace with a Copperfield equivalent if the frame is compromised. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires those photos in your record.
- Olympia DuraFlex pro liner: separation at the collar joint above the smoke chamber. The DuraFlex pro uses a crimp-and-collar connection that can work loose after 5-7 thermal cycles, especially in Kennesaw’s freeze-thaw winters when homeowners run intermittent fires. We find this with the camera, not a flashlight. The repair is a mechanical reseat with a new DuraFlex collar, or if the liner has shifted, a full pull and reinstall with proper tension. We never guess - the camera shows the gap in millimeters.
- Olympia HeatShield-compatible liner: refractory coating delamination. Some Kennesaw installers spec’d Olympia liners with HeatShield refractory coating for unlined masonry chimneys. The coating can spider-crack if the underlying brick was damp during application, which is common in basements near Noonday Creek’s drainage zone. We camera-scan for exposed metal, then either spot-repair with HeatShield Cerfractory foam or recommend a full reline if the delamination exceeds 12 continuous inches. The photo record shows you exactly where the problem starts and stops.
- Olympia oval-to-round adapter: soot packing in the transition zone. This adapter, used when a rectangular flue meets a round liner, has a slightly shorter taper than code minimum on pre-2019 production runs. Soot packs tight in the dead zone and hardens into a fire risk. We use a reverse-skip rotary chain to break it loose, then verify clear diameter with the camera. If the adapter is the restricted production run, we replace with a current-spec Olympia part or a Gelco equivalent that meets the longer taper requirement.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability in Kennesaw or nearby Acworth and Marietta, and notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it. You’ll get a text when your tech is en route.

- 3
Written price and scope. Before any cleaning or repair, you get a single-page document with the findings, the work recommended, the exact price, and the warranty terms. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing.
- 4
Cleaning and repair. We use brushes and chains sized to your exact Olympia liner diameter, not one-size-fits-all tools. OEM Olympia parts or quality equivalents from our DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Copperfield inventory - sourced through Haven’s buying network to keep prices honest.
- 5
Post-work camera verification and photo record. The camera goes down again to prove the flue is clear and any repair is seated. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a documented photo record on every job - included, not extra.

FAQs
No, professional cleaning by a qualified technician does not void an Olympia Chimney liner warranty. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and corrosion-through, not maintenance neglect - so skipping sweeps actually risks denial if creosote damage is the cause. We document every cleaning with dated photos, which protects your warranty claim if you ever need one. Call (678) 535-2204 to schedule - estimates are free.
Yes, for most series produced after 2012. Olympia discontinued their original 304-grade flexible liner around 2018, but we stock compatible adapters and collars through our Haven buying network, including DuraFlex and Gelco equivalents that match gauge and diameter. For pre-2012 systems, we camera-inspect first to determine whether repair or full replacement makes sense, then put both options in writing with exact prices. Call (678) 535-2204 for a free estimate.
The camera decides, not a guess from the hearth. We find separation, corrosion, or coating failure on Olympia systems that the owner thought just needed a sweep. If the liner is structurally sound, we clean and document. If there’s a defect, we show you the footage, explain the fix, and write the price before any repair begins. No work happens without your signed approval of a written scope. Call (678) 535-2204 to book a Level 2 inspection.
Once per burning season for regular use, or per cord of wood burned - whichever comes first. Kennesaw’s mild winters mean some homeowners burn intermittently, which can actually worsen creosote buildup because the flue never reaches sustained temperatures that dry deposits. Olympia’s 316Ti and DuraFlex liners resist corrosion but don’t prevent creosote accumulation. We recommend a Level 1 sweep annually and a Level 2 camera inspection every three years, or sooner if you notice drafting issues or odor. Call (678) 535-2204 to schedule.
Class I creosote becomes Class III glazed creosote, which is flammable and harder to remove. In Kennesaw’s humidity, that glaze traps moisture against the liner and accelerates corrosion at joints and collars. Olympia stainless steel resists rust but not indefinite neglect - we’ve pulled 316Ti liners with pinholes at the tee that started as simple soot buildup. The repair cost is typically 4-6 times the price of annual maintenance. We write the current condition and the future risk in plain terms, with photos. Call (678) 535-2204 for a free inspection and written estimate.
