If you’ve been told your Olympia Chimney liner needs attention and you want a straight answer backed by camera footage, call (516) 604-2573. Wendell answers.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail, and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid venting products. But like everything bolted to a house in Lawrence, they have weak points. Here’s what we actually see when we open them up:

• Ventis stainless steel liners and creosote glaze. Olympia’s Ventis line holds up well to heat, but it doesn’t make creosote vanish. In Lawrence homes where wood burns hot and fast, third-degree creosote glazes onto the liner wall. A brush won’t touch it. We remove it with rotary cleaning heads sized to the liner, then run the camera to confirm we didn’t scar the steel. Most Ventis liners clean up fine if the sweep happens yearly.
• Olympia Chimney caps and squirrel damage in Lawrence’s tree canopy. Lawrence has mature oaks and maples close to rooflines, and squirrels find Olympia’s standard caps convenient perches. We regularly pull nests and debris from caps on Olympia systems, and we’ve installed heavy-gauge replacement caps with tighter mesh when the original gets chewed through. If we’re already on the roof for a sweep, we check the cap for free.
• Ventis Class A pipe with creosote accumulation at offsets. Many Lawrence houses have flues with elbows and offsets to clear roof lines. Creosote builds at those joints first. On Olympia Ventis Class A pipe, we pay extra attention to every offset, because that’s where a hot fire becomes a chimney fire. Our sweep includes opening access points at offsets when the install allows it.
• Olympia Chimney stove adapters and improper diameter reductions. We see Olympia stove adapters paired with undersized flue sections more often than we should. A 6-inch stove collar reduced down to a 5-inch flue chokes draft and deposits soot twice as fast. We flag it during cleaning, show you the camera footage, and tell you if it needs correcting. If it’s safe and just needs more frequent sweeping, we’ll say that instead.
• Mixed-system installs with Olympia Chimney liners inside older clay tile. Lawrence’s older housing stock, especially near the Five Towns border, often has Olympia stainless liners dropped inside original clay tile flues. The gap between liner and tile collects moisture and soot. We clean the liner itself and advise on insulation or sealing when the gap is causing condensation. The liner is rarely the problem. The install around it usually is.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

Every Olympia Chimney job follows the same routine, no shortcuts:

1. 1
   Call and straight pricing. You tell us what you have, how many floors, and the last time it was swept. We quote you a flat number before we schedule. If you have a competing written estimate, bring it and we’ll give a free second opinion.
2. 2
   Arrival and floor protection. Wendell or one of his crew shows up in uniform, background-checked, with drop cloths covering the hearth and surrounding floor. The number quoted on the phone is still the number.
3. 3
   Level 1 or Level 2 inspection. We run the camera through the Olympia Chimney flue before touching it. You see the footage. We go over what’s there and what isn’t.
4. 4
   The sweep. Brushes sized to your specific flue, top-down and bottom-up passes, plus rotary treatment if glaze is present. We clean the smoke chamber, damper, and firebox as part of a standard sweep.
5. 5
   Post-sweep camera and verdict. We run the camera again. If it’s clean, Wendell will tell you it’s clean. If it needs more work, you see exactly why, and nothing gets recommended without footage to back it.
6. 6
   Written guarantee. Every Olympia Chimney sweep in Lawrence leaves with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, one call brings us back.

Why Lawrence Homeowners Call Top Hat Chimney for Olympia Chimney Work

Wendell Pike started Top Hat Chimney in 1999, and he’s been inside Lawrence chimneys long enough to know which houses on Seaspray or Ocean Avenue still have original clay tile behind the stainless liner. He grew up in San Diego, trained at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, and has spent the better part of his career on the South Shore of Long Island. When you call, a live person answers, twenty-four hours a day. When the work is done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, not implied.

We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not an authorized dealer, and that matters in your favor. We don’t have to push Olympia parts when a DuraFlex or HeatShield component fits the job better. We tell you the trade-offs and let you decide. We install and service DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney, plus Famco and Copperfield, so the answer is never “replace everything” just because one brand is having supply problems.

Ask anyone on your street. The guys who had a national outfit roll through last year are usually the ones who call us this year.
