This page is for Tacoma homeowners who have an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or component showing wear and want a technician who knows the product line without upselling unnecessary rebuilds. Corrine Halstead and our crew have worked on Olympia Chimney systems across Tacoma, including in the Proctor District where older craftsman homes often hide flue conditions that haven’t been inspected in decades.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liner collars crack at the top plate weld. The titanium-stabilized stainless holds up well in Tacoma’s salt-air environment, but the collar weld sees thermal shock every burn cycle. We see this most in homes near Commencement Bay where wind-driven rain accelerates the cycle. We replace with an Olympia collar or a Famco equivalent rated for the same temperature spread, and we document the weld quality with the camera before we leave.
• Olympia Chimney smooth-wall liners develop mortar bridging in the smoke chamber. The smooth-wall design is meant to reduce creosote adhesion, but in Tacoma’s damp winters, condensation behind partial blockages can degrade the surrounding masonry. We find this during our NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scan. We remove the bridging with rotary tools, seal the smoke chamber with HeatShield if the parging is compromised, and show you the before-and-after footage under Haven Standard Clause 4.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible caps corrode at the mesh base. Tacoma’s marine layer sits heavy on metal from October through April. The 304 stainless mesh on older caps can pinhole while the cap body still looks fine. We don’t sell you a full cap if the base is sound - we source the mesh assembly through our Haven buying network and install it with the same hardware spec Olympia uses.
• Olympia Chimney DuraFlex transition fittings loosen in earthquake-prone soil conditions. The Puget Sound basin gets low-frequency settling that other regions don’t. A transition that was tight at install can gap over two to three years. We check these with a borescope on every Level 2 inspection in Tacoma, retorque or replace the fitting, and note the condition in your written report.
• Olympia Chimney round-to-oval adapters create turbulent zones that accelerate spalling in exterior brick. This isn’t a product defect - it’s a design tension. The adapter saves space in a narrow chase but changes draft dynamics. In Tacoma’s freeze-thaw cycles, that turbulence zone corresponds to exterior brick damage we see between the first and second floor. We map the pattern with the camera, then recommend repointing, a cricket modification, or both, with the price in writing before we start.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers 24/7. We book your Level 2 inspection - camera down the flue, documented from top to bottom.
2. 2
   Inspection with Corrine’s crew. The technician arrives uniformed, background-checked, with license number visible. We run the camera, take readings, and find what’s actually wrong with your Olympia Chimney component.
3. 3
   Written price, written scope. Haven Standard Clause 1: you get the exact dollar amount, the exact work, and the exact warranty before anyone picks up a tool. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Parts decision. We use Olympia Chimney OEM when it makes sense, or quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield when it saves you money without compromising safety. We explain the trade-off and you choose.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We complete the work, run a post-repair camera pass, and test draft and smoke spillage. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
6. 6
   Documentation and follow-up. You receive photos, camera footage, a written completion record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We file everything under Haven Standard Clause 4.
