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.

AfterOlympia Chimney Chimney Repair in Attleboro: What to Know First
As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we repair Olympia Chimney flue liners, chimney caps, and venting systems throughout Attleboro, typically completing jobs in a single visit with upfront pricing agreed before we start. Most repairs run between $280 and $1,850 depending on whether we’re sealing a cracked liner, rebuilding a spalling crown, or replacing failed flashing on an Olympia Chimney system. We don’t quote over the phone for what we haven’t seen, but we don’t charge to look either, estimates are free and include camera inspection photos you can see for yourself. This page is for Attleboro homeowners who already have an Olympia Chimney product installed and need straight talk on what’s failing, what it’ll take to fix it right, and what it’ll cost. Call (508) 545-9737 and a live person will answer, any hour of any day.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liner separation at the collar joint. The 316Ti series uses a titanium-stabilized stainless that resists acid corrosion well, but the factory collar joint on earlier production runs can work loose after seven to ten years of Attleboro freeze-thaw cycling. We see this most in the older colonials near the Woodcock Reservoir where the chimney runs exterior and gets the full brunt of January cold snaps. We cut back to sound metal, install a new custom-rolled collar with high-temp sealant, and pressure-test the joint before we leave. Done right, and we stand behind it.
- Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible cap screen clogging from catalytic stove ash. The Gelco line caps that Olympia Chimney specifies for some of their wood-burning venting kits use a fine mesh that traps catalytic converter ash, especially from the newer EPA-certified stoves popular in Attleboro’s 02703 zip. The screen doesn’t fail structurally, it fails functionally, backing up smoke into the house. We pull the cap, document the ash loading with photos you can see, and either clean and reset or upsize to a slightly coarser mesh if the stove’s burn pattern demands it.
- Olympia Chimney oval-to-round adapter cracking in oil-to-gas conversions. When Attleboro homeowners switched from oil to gas heat in the 2010s, many kept their Olympia Chimney oval flue and used a factory adapter to round pipe. Those adapters see thermal shock the original design didn’t anticipate, gas flue gas is wetter and cooler than oil, and the adapter fatigues at the weld. We remove the cracked adapter, match the new one to the actual BTU output of the installed appliance, and seal with Furnace Cement rated for the lower flue temperature. No guesswork, the right material for the actual conditions.
- Olympia Chimney DuraFlex pro liner shoulder separation in tall Attleboro chimneys. The DuraFlex pro series handles straight runs beautifully, but in the three-story Victorians off County Street, the shoulder where the liner turns from vertical to appliance connector can sag and separate over time. Gravity wins eventually. We support the liner with a new top plate and stainless support band, rebuild the shoulder with DuraFlex-compatible components, and add a mid-chimney support if the run exceeds thirty feet. The chimney doesn’t care what you paid for the house. It just needs to be right.
- Olympia Chimney HeatShield-compatible flue liner spalling in high-sulfur coal conversions. A few Attleboro homeowners still burn coal or blended fuels, and the HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing that Olympia Chimney recommends for minor flue damage can’t handle sustained sulfur attack. The surface crazes and flakes within two seasons. We camera the full flue, show you where the HeatShield has failed and where it’s still sound, and quote either a spot reline with DuraFlex 316Ti or a full HeatShield reapplication if you’ve switched back to wood or gas. We don’t sell you a liner you don’t need, and we don’t patch what won’t hold.

Parts diagnosis: OEM Olympia Chimney vs. quality aftermarket. For liner sections and collar joints, we stock genuine Olympia Chimney where it matters for warranty and fit. For caps, sealants, and support hardware, we sometimes specify Gelco, DuraFlex, or Famco equivalents that match or exceed OEM spec at lower cost. We tell you which we’re proposing and why, before you decide.

Upfront pricing, then the repair. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. No surprises. Most Olympia Chimney repairs complete in a single visit with our background-checked, uniformed technician.
- 5
Post-repair camera verification and smoke test. We camera again to confirm the fix, run a smoke test on venting systems, and show you the after photos. Documentation like an engineer, explained like a craftsman.

FAQs
No, independent repair by a qualified technician does not automatically void your Olympia Chimney warranty, but using non-OEM parts for certain components can limit coverage on those specific parts. We use genuine Olympia Chimney components where warranty preservation matters, and we tell you upfront when we’re proposing a quality aftermarket equivalent from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco. Call (508) 545-9737 and we’ll review what’s still covered on your installation.
Common Olympia Chimney liner sections, collars, and caps are in our regional supplier network and usually arrive within two to three business days. For older series or discontinued lines, we sometimes fabricate compatible solutions from DuraFlex or Famco stock rather than leave you waiting weeks. We’ll give you a straight timeline when we quote, and if we can fix it faster with an equivalent part, we’ll explain that option. Call (508) 545-9737 to check availability for your specific model.
Repair is almost always the right call if the liner is structurally sound and the appliance itself is still serviceable. We replace Olympia Chimney systems only when the flue is too deteriorated for safe relining, the wrong size for the current appliance, or when repair costs approach 60 percent of replacement. Our camera inspection shows you exactly where you stand, and we’ll tell you plainly when work can safely wait. Call (508) 545-9737 for a free second opinion if another company has recommended full replacement.
Most Olympia Chimney repairs in Attleboro complete in a single visit once scheduled, because we stock common parts and our technicians arrive with the tools and materials for typical collar, cap, and adapter failures. Complex jobs requiring custom fabrication or supplier orders may need a return visit, but we don’t leave you with an unsafe system in the meantime. Call (508) 545-9737 to book, a live person answers any hour.
A cracked liner or separated collar allows flue gases, including carbon monoxide, to leak into wall cavities or living space, and creosote can accumulate in gaps where it becomes a chimney fire risk. The facts are alarming enough on their own. That said, not every crack is an emergency, some deterioration is slow and can be monitored. Our camera inspection tells you which category you’re in, and we never sell repair on hazard alone without photo evidence you can see. Call (508) 545-9737 for an honest assessment.
