If you own a home with an Olympia Chimney flue system in Westchester County, this page covers what actually fails on these units, what it costs to fix them right, and how we approach the work. No pressure. If the liner has life left in it, we’ll say so.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Ventinox Pro stainless liner seam separation at the lower joints. The Ventinox Pro has been one of the more common Olympia liners we see in older Westchester County homes, and the failure we run into most is separation at the lower seam where the liner meets the appliance connector. Years of heating and cooling cycles work the joint loose. We spot it on camera, then either re-band the joint if the steel is sound or replace the section. We’ll tell you which one it needs before we touch it.
• Ventinox Smooth Wall flex liner kinking during original installation. Olympia’s Smooth Wall liner is more flexible than rigid pipe, which made it popular for retrofits in houses with offset flues. The weak point is kinking if the original install pulled it through a tight offset. A kinked section restricts draft and builds creosote faster. We see it all the time behind the damper on older stone fireplaces in places like Croton and Ossining. The fix is usually a partial liner replacement, not a full one.
• Adapter plate warping on multi-fuel Olympia systems. We’ve pulled apart more than a few Olympia setups where the adapter plate between the liner and the appliance warped under high heat. It’s more common on systems that burn both wood and pellet. A warped plate lets exhaust leak into the chase. We replace it with either the OEM plate or a matching gauge aftermarket equivalent. Both work. The OEM plate costs more. We’ll show you the difference.
• Chase cap rust-through on exposed Westchester County chimneys. Olympia chase caps aren’t the thickest steel on the market, and Westchester County winters are not gentle. Snow, ice, and road salt in the air eat through the cap faster than the liner itself. Once the cap goes, water drips onto the liner and down to the firebox. We see this constantly on homes near the Hudson River where the damp air accelerates rust. A new cap is a small job, but leaving it turns into a bigger one.
• Flex liner compatibility issues with non-Olympia stove adapters. Homeowners sometimes have a different brand of stove or insert installed below an Olympia liner, and the adapter doesn’t seal correctly. You get an exhaust leak that sets off carbon monoxide detectors. We’ve corrected a handful of these where the stove was the culprit, not the liner. We’ll diagnose which side is wrong before you spend money replacing either.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

Here’s how a typical Olympia Chimney liner or rebuild job goes from the first call to the last pass with the shop vac.

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail box. Wendell or one of the crew picks up, asks what’s going on, and schedules a visit. No trip charge inside the county.
2. 2
   We inspect the flue with a camera. Before we touch anything, we run a camera down the liner and up from the firebox. You see the footage. We point out what’s wrong on the screen, not with a vague hand wave.
3. 3
   We give you a written price. The number we quote is the number on the invoice. If the liner has years left in it, we’ll say so. If we’re not the right crew for the job, we’ll tell you that too.
4. 4
   We do the work, OEM or aftermarket as it makes sense. For Olympia liners under warranty, we use OEM parts where it protects the warranty. Where the warranty has lapsed and an aftermarket liner from DuraFlex or HeatShield is the better material for the money, we’ll say exactly that and let you decide.
5. 5
   We test the draft and run the camera again. Before we pack up, we verify the flue pulls correctly and show you the before and after footage. No secrets in the wall.
6. 6
   You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something’s not right within 90 days, one call brings us back. No invoice, no argument.

Note on High-Tension Components

Liner replacement work can involve working at height and around hot surfaces, but it does not involve the kind of high-tension spring danger you get with garage doors. The real risk on a chimney job is a fall from a ladder or a roof. We use proper tie-offs and booted sole plates on every roof we walk. If your chimney chase requires masonry demolition for a full rebuild, we’ll walk you through the structural plan before a single brick comes out.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Westchester County

Here’s what we charge, and what moves the number. Just flat numbers, no games.

What moves the price: flue height, roof pitch, whether we need a lift or can ladder it, and whether the existing liner is glued in with creosote or comes out easy. Multiple sections of damaged liner, or a firebox that needs real masonry repair, pushes a partial job into a full rebuild. We’ll tell you which one you have and what it costs before we start. Call (914) 537-6479 for a free estimate, and ask about the $40 off any repair over $200. That’s a standing offer, not a seasonal thing.

Why Westchester County Homeowners Call Top Hat Chimney for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been in Westchester County since 1999. Wendell Pike started Top Hat Chimney because he got tired of people being quoted one price on the phone and a different one at the door. Around here, we’re the ones in your driveway holding the camera with the footage on the screen. If a liner is shot, we say so. If it’s got years left, we say that too.

Every Olympia Chimney liner or rebuild job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, one call brings the crew back. No cost, no runaround. We also install DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco liners, so if the right fix isn’t an Olympia part, we’ll put in what actually serves you best, and explain why. We’re not a franchise that rotated into the county last spring. We answer the phone, we live here, and we’ll run into you at the transfer station on Saturday.
