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
- Olympia Chimney ProFlex liner series: The ProFlex’s corrugated stainless design traps more particulate than smooth-wall alternatives, especially when homeowners burn unseasoned oak common in Chester County. We see Class III glazed creosote forming in the corrugation valleys after two skipped seasons. Our fix: rotary poly-chain whipping followed by a Level 2 camera scan to confirm valley clearance. If the liner has thinned at stress points, we document gauge readings and quote replacement through Haven’s network, often with DuraFlex or a comparable smooth-wall alternative.
- Olympia Chimney Tee and wye fittings: The stamped seams on older Olympia Tee assemblies fatigue where the snout meets the body, particularly in Phoenixville’s freeze-thaw cycles. Creosote seeps into the hairline crack, accelerates corrosion, and you smell it before you see it - a sharp, acrid draft on windy days. We pull the fitting, inspect with borescope, and replace with a welded-seam aftermarket Tee if the OEM part shows thinning. The camera doesn’t negotiate; the footage goes in your file either way.
- Olympia Chimney chimney cap spark arrestors: The factory mesh on Olympia’s standard cap clogs with catalpa and sycamore debris from the river corridor trees. Homeowners call for “poor draft” and we find 60% mesh occlusion. We clean the arrestor in place when possible, replace with a Gelco cap with wider mesh spacing where local code allows, or upsize to a custom cap if the flue is over-drawn.
- Olympia Chimney flexible connector transitions: The crimped transition from rigid to flexible liner loosens in the expansion-contraction rhythm of shoulder-season fires, common in Phoenixville where homeowners light intermittent fires October through April. Soot blows back into the smoke chamber. We re-crimp with a proper expansion joint, vacuum the chamber, and seal with HeatShield cerfractory foam if the masonry is friable.
- Olympia Chimney factory-built chimney chase covers: The galvanized steel covers on Olympia’s chase-mounted systems rust at the drip edge within eight to twelve years in our humidity. Water tracks down the flue, mixes with creosote, and forms sulfuric acid that etches the liner. We replace with a Copperfield stainless chase cover, inspect the liner with camera for etch patterns, and document pH damage for your insurance file.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and assigns a named technician. You get a text when they’re en route.
- 2
Arrival and setup. Our tech arrives uniformed, lays protective sheeting, and sets up the camera rig before touching anything. Corrine Halstead trained every tech on this sequence: camera first, tools second.
- 3
Level 2 inspection per NFPA 211. The camera goes down the flue. We record footage of the liner, smoke chamber, damper, and firebox. For Olympia Chimney systems, we pay particular attention to corrugated valley depth and seam weld integrity - failure modes we’ve documented across hundreds of Phoenixville jobs.
- 4
Written price, written scope, written warranty. You see the footage. We explain what needs doing, what can wait, and what we’re pricing. No verbal estimates. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires the signature before the work starts.
- 5
Sweep and repair. Rotary or manual sweep as indicated, parts replacement with OEM or quality aftermarket sourced through Haven’s buying network, and pressure testing or draft measurement where applicable.
- 6
Documentation and cleanup. Photo record uploaded to your file, work area vacuumed, and a copy of your warranty emailed. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies automatically - if it’s not done right, we make it right.

Why Phoenixville Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Phoenixville for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings since 2009, every one with a written price before work started and a documented record when finished. That archive practice became Clause 4 of the Haven Standard. For Olympia Chimney owners specifically, we maintain inventory and cross-reference compatibility with DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco alternatives - so you’re not captive to a single supplier’s lead time or pricing.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and named on your appointment. License information is displayed on every page and provided on request. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the sweep doesn’t hold, the part fails, or the draft still isn’t right, we return and make it right. No charge for our error. No argument about whose fault it was.
Corrine Halstead and her crew have been servicing Phoenixville for several years, including the older masonry stacks near the Schuylkill River trail where creosote buildup tells a longer story than homeowners expect. She shows the camera footage before quoting a single dollar. What’s on the screen is the conversation.
FAQs
No, routine chimney cleaning and sweep performed by a qualified professional does not void your Olympia Chimney product warranty. The warranty covers manufacturing defects, not maintenance neglect. We document our work with photos and a written report, which actually supports any future warranty claim by proving the system was properly maintained. Call (610) 321-5157 if you need a copy formatted for your warranty file.
Most common Olympia Chimney caps, Tee fittings, and ProFlex liner sections arrive within three to five business days through Haven’s buying network. For urgent situations, we often stock compatible DuraFlex or HeatShield alternatives that meet the same UL 1777 listing and can ship faster. We never let a homeowner wait on a part when a safe equivalent is available - and we explain the trade-off in writing before you decide.
Repair is viable when damage is localized - a single seam separation, a Tee crack, or minor thinning under 15% of wall thickness. Replacement is the honest recommendation when we find multiple thin spots, circumferential cracking, or gauge readings below manufacturer minimum. We show you the camera footage and the gauge numbers, then quote both options. Some Phoenixville homeowners choose repair for a liner at year eight and budget replacement at year twelve. That’s a reasonable plan if we document it together.
NFPA 211 recommends annual inspection, with sweeping frequency based on use and fuel. For Olympia Chimney systems burning seasoned hardwood in Phoenixville’s typical intermittent-use pattern, most homeowners need a sweep every one to two cords burned, or annually if the fireplace sees regular weekend use. ProFlex corrugated liners merit closer attention - the geometry traps more creosote, so we advise annual sweep for active burners. Call (610) 321-5157 to schedule; estimates are free.
Class I and II creosote hardens into Class III glaze, which insulates the flue, reduces draft, and becomes fuel for a chimney fire. In Olympia Chimney systems, the ProFlex corrugations and Tee junctions are particularly vulnerable to accumulation. Carbon monoxide risk rises as draft efficiency drops. The repair cost escalates from a $189 sweep to potentially $2,000-plus liner replacement. We don’t scare-sell - we show you the camera footage and let the numbers speak. Call (610) 321-5157 for a free estimate.
