This page is for homeowners in Crystal Lake, Lakewood, and the neighborhoods near Three Oaks Recreation Area who need straight answers about their Olympia Chimney system. Corrine Halstead and our crew have inspected thousands of chimneys across McHenry County since 2009. The camera doesn’t argue - and neither does a written price.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liners develop seam separation at the flex points. The titanium-stabilized stainless resists corrosion well, but repeated thermal cycling in Crystal Lake’s freeze-thaw winters opens the corrugation welds at the elbows. We cut back to sound metal and splice in a new Olympia-compatible section or upsize to a DuraFlex equivalent with heavier gauge walls.
• Olympia rigid 304 stainless liners show crevice corrosion behind the collar plates. This happens where condensation pools in the offset sections common on ranch-style homes built around Crystal Lake in the 1970s and 1980s. We pull the plate, inspect the wall thickness with a pit gauge, and replace only what’s actually wasted rather than selling a full liner.
• Olympia smooth-wall aluminized liners delaminate in high-heat applications. When installed in wood stoves running long burns, the aluminum coating separates from the steel substrate and flakes into the flue. We document the delamination with camera footage, then quote a 316Ti or 316L replacement - never reinstalling aluminized where the duty cycle demands stainless.
• Olympia chimney systems with integrated heat-reflective panels suffer mortar joint failure at the smoke chamber. The panels expand at a different rate than the surrounding masonry, cracking the parging that seals the chamber. We remove the panels, repoint with HeatShield-compatible refractory, and reinstall or upgrade to a Gelco chamber coat depending on access.
• Olympia factory-built chimney chase covers rust through at the drip edges. The galvanized steel covers shipped with early Olympia systems last 8-12 years in Crystal Lake’s snow-load climate. We measure on-site and source a replacement through our Famco or Copperfield supply line, with stainless or copper options priced in writing before fabrication.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers 24/7. We book your NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera scan, and you receive a text when your tech is en route.
2. 2
   Inspect and document. We run the camera down the flue, record liner condition, wall thickness, and any spalling or joint gaps. You get the footage and a written scope before any work is approved.
3. 3
   Quote in writing. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires a written price, written scope, and written warranty before work starts. No exceptions. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate.
4. 4
   Source parts. We pull Olympia-compatible components from our Haven buying network - DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield as the job demands. OEM when it makes sense; quality aftermarket when it saves you money without compromising safety.
5. 5
   Execute and verify. Liner pulls, rebuilds, or repairs are completed by background-checked, uniformed techs. We pressure-test or smoke-test as appropriate, then run the camera again for after photos.
6. 6
   Deliver records and warranty. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a documented photo record on every job. You walk away with photos, camera footage, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
