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.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Evergreen Series gas valves sticking in partial-open position. We see this in Haverhill homes built between 2015 and 2020, especially where propane conversion was done at install. The valve train tolerances on early Evergreen units run tight, and Merrimack Valley winter temperature swings cause the brass expansion coefficient to drift. We pull the manifold, bench-test the valve at operating pressure, and replace with either the OEM SIT valve assembly or a Robertshaw equivalent rated for the same BTU range. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do I.
- Pro-Series 304 stainless firebox weld-seam cracking at the smoke chamber transition. This shows up after five to seven years of heavy wood-burning use. The factory seam is a single-pass TIG joint that fatigues where the box geometry changes. We cut back to sound metal, bridge with a 309L filler rod for thermal expansion match, and pressure-test the chamber before reassembly. We document the repair with photos per Haven Standard Clause 4.
- Evergreen insert blower motors drawing high amperage and failing to reach rated CFM. The OEM Fasco motors run hot in tight chase installations common in Haverhill’s older colonials near Washington Square. We measure actual versus specified airflow, check the thermal snap disc, and replace with an exact-match motor or a Genteq cross-reference if the original is back-ordered. We always test the new motor under load before we leave.
- Pro-Series chimney termination caps corroding at the mesh-to-base joint. Haverhill’s proximity to the Merrimack River puts more salt moisture in the air than inland Essex County. The 304 mesh on early Pro-Series caps isn’t enough for that environment. We upgrade to 316L stainless or source the Gelco equivalent with a heavier base flange, depending on what the chase configuration allows.
- Evergreen direct-vent co-linear flex runs collapsing at the offset. Olympia’s co-linear kit uses a lighter-gauge flex than DuraFlex or HeatShield equivalents. In Haverhill’s freeze-thaw cycles, the offset elbow takes stress and the flex can ovalize, restricting draft. We camera the full run, measure the deformation, and replace with DuraFlex Pro or HeatShield Armor if the chase geometry permits a better pull. We show you the before-and-after footage before we invoice.
Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask the model series if you know it, the fuel type, and what’s happening. We book a two-hour arrival window.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection on arrival. Corrine or a named, background-checked tech runs the camera down the flue or into the firebox. We record what we find: liner condition, creosote class, valve readings, blower amperage, cap integrity.
- 3
Written price and scope before any work. Haven Standard Clause 1: you get the dollar figure, the parts list, and the warranty terms in writing. We don’t start until you sign off.
- 4
Repair with documented parts provenance. OEM Olympia parts when available and sensible; quality aftermarket from our Haven buying network when lead times or cost don’t serve you. We log serial numbers and source documentation.
- 5
Post-repair testing and photo record. Gas pressure test, draft measurement, or burn cycle verification depending on the system. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires the photo record; you get it by email before we leave.
- 6
Cleanup, written warranty, and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We stamp the job, file the record, and you’re covered.

FAQs
No. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use OEM or equivalent parts and document everything. Manufacturer warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship; they don’t require you to use factory-authorized service for routine maintenance or repair. We log serial numbers and keep our documentation for your warranty claim if you need it. Call (351) 444-9705 if you have a specific warranty concern.
OEM parts from Olympia’s distribution typically arrive in three to five business days for common Evergreen and Pro-Series components. For older or discontinued lines, we cross-reference to DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco equivalents from our Haven buying network - often faster and sometimes half the cost. We tell you both options in writing before you decide.
Replace when the firebox is cracked through multiple planes, the heat exchanger is compromised, or repair costs exceed 60% of a comparable new unit installed. We don’t recommend replacement without camera evidence you can see. Many Pro-Series and Evergreen issues - valve failures, blower motors, cap corrosion - are straightforward repairs with a ten-year or longer remaining service life. Call (351) 444-9705 and we’ll show you what we found.
Gas units: annually, per NFPA 211. Wood-burning units: annually if used regularly, or after every cord of wood burned. Haverhill’s river-valley humidity accelerates corrosion on caps and terminations, so we recommend a visual check of the exterior components each fall even if the burn cycle is light. We don’t upsell - we document and let you decide what can wait.
Gas units can develop combustion air blockages or pressure regulator drift, raising carbon monoxide risk. Wood-burning units accumulate creosote, which ignites at 451°F and can crack the flue liner. In Haverhill’s older colonials with shared masonry chimneys, a liner breach can send exhaust into neighboring flues. These are real risks, not scare tactics. The good news: a Level 2 inspection catches them early, and most findings don’t require immediate repair. Call (351) 444-9705 for a free estimate.
