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 Liner & Rebuild in Kennesaw: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney liner & rebuild service in Kennesaw, with most liner replacements and partial rebuilds completed in one to two days after the Level 2 inspection. Every job starts with a camera-scan of the flue, a written price, and a photo record - nothing is scheduled until you have both in hand. If you own an Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner or flexible liner system and you’re seeing rust flakes in the firebox, drafting problems, or a creosote pattern that doesn’t make sense, call (678) 535-2204. Corrine Halstead and our crew have worked on Olympia Chimney products in Kennesaw homes since 2015, including the older two-story colonials near Kennesaw Mountain where clay-to-steel liner retrofits are common.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liners in Kennesaw’s freeze-thaw cycles. The 316Ti alloy handles acid well but the flex joints at the offset (where the flue bends to miss a rafter) work-harden over Georgia winters. We’ve pulled collapsed sections in Kennesaw’s Acworth and Lost Mountain neighborhoods where the offset angle exceeded 30 degrees during original install. We replace with a properly supported rigid or semi-rigid run, or sleeve the joint with DuraFlex if the rest of the liner tests sound.
- Olympia Chimney’s original smooth-wall rigid series with factory condensation collars. The collar seam is a cold spot; in Kennesaw’s humid shoulder seasons, acidic condensate pools and eats the weld from the outside in. Homeowners smell vinegar or see white efflorescence on the exterior brick before they notice draft loss. We cut back to sound metal, install a Gelco condensation drain tee if the appliance is high-efficiency, and document the repair with photos under Haven Standard Clause 4.
- Olympia Chimney’s pre-2018 flexible liner termination caps with internal mesh. The mesh spacing was too fine for Georgia’s pollen-heavy springs and Kennesaw’s oak catkin season. Clogged caps back-puff smoke into the room and accelerate creosote formation in the upper flue. We replace with Famco’s wider-mesh equivalent or a Gelco top-mount damper cap, depending on whether the homeowner burns wood or runs a gas insert.
- Olympia Chimney’s transition plates where a stainless liner meets a clay thimble. The plate is stamped to one standard angle; Kennesaw’s 1960s-80s ranch homes often have 45-degree thimbles that don’t match. Gaps get packed with refractory cement that cracks in two seasons. We fabricate a custom transition or source an Olympia-compatible adjustable plate through our Haven buying network, then seal with HeatShield Cerfractory foam for a joint that moves with the stack.
- Olympia Chimney’s UL 1777 listed liners paired with oversized fireplaces. The liner is rated for the appliance BTU, not the firebox volume. In Kennesaw’s newer construction with tall, shallow Rumford-style openings, the liner runs below its dew point, condensing flue gases into creosote washes. We calculate the actual firebox-to-flue ratio during our Level 2, then upsize the liner or recommend a properly sized insert - we write it down before we ask you to decide anything.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

- 1
Level 2 camera inspection. We run a chimney scan camera the full length of the Olympia Chimney flue liner, record video and stills, and mark GPS coordinates of every defect. You get the footage before we talk price.
- 2
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: a written price, written scope, and written warranty delivered before anyone schedules work. No verbal estimates, no “we’ll see when we get there.”
- 3
Parts decision with options. If your Olympia Chimney liner is discontinued or back-ordered, we quote OEM-equivalent from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco sourced through our Haven buying network. You see the part numbers and warranty terms in writing.
- 4
Repair or rebuild. Liner pull and replacement, partial rebuild of the smoke chamber and throat, or full chimney rebuild from the roofline up - done by background-checked, uniformed techs with license numbers on the invoice.
- 5
Post-repair camera verification. We re-scan the completed flue, test draft with a manometer, and photograph the exterior termination. This documentation goes into your record under Haven Standard Clause 4.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The warranty is stamped, dated, and emailed with your photo archive. If it’s not done right, we make it right.

FAQs
No, provided the work is done by a qualified professional using compatible materials - but as an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we are not authorized to speak for Olympia’s warranty department. We document every step with photos and part numbers so you have evidence if a warranty claim arises. Call (678) 535-2204 and we’ll review your specific liner model and install date.
Most single-flue flexible or rigid liner replacements are completed in one day after the Level 2 inspection. Full rebuilds run two to four days depending on weather and brick curing time. We don’t promise same-day dispatch, but we do keep common Olympia-compatible liner diameters in regional stock.
Sometimes. Spot repairs work when the damage is localized - a cracked top section, a failed transition plate, minor weld corrosion. We sleeve viable sections with HeatShield Cerfractory foam or weld-patch with 316Ti filler when the defect is accessible. If the camera shows multiple failure points or the liner has exceeded its service life, we quote replacement honestly. Nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see yourself.
We source both. When Olympia Chimney OEM is available at fair lead time, we quote it. When it’s back-ordered or priced outside the Haven Standard’s honesty threshold, we substitute DuraFlex, Gelco, or HeatShield equivalents with equivalent or better specifications - always with part numbers and warranty terms in writing before you decide.
NFPA 211 calls for annual inspection for all chimney systems. In Kennesaw, the combination of humid summers, occasional ice events, and heavy pollen means we find corrosion and cap-clog issues faster here than in drier climates. If you burn wood regularly, schedule a Level 2 camera inspection every year; gas appliances can stretch to every two years if the prior scan was clean. Call (678) 535-2204 to book - estimates are free.
