Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Stamford: What to Know First

Olympia Chimney liner replacement in Stamford typically runs $2,800 to $6,400 depending on flue size, liner material, and whether we’re doing a straight swap or rebuilding sections of the chimney above it. Most jobs are completed in one to two days once parts are on hand. We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not a factory-authorized shop, which means we recommend what the camera shows us, not what a manufacturer’s warranty form wants to hear. This page is for Stamford homeowners who own an Olympia Chimney product and want a written price, a documented inspection, and a straight answer about whether the liner actually needs to come out. Call (914) 537-8463 to schedule a camera-scan inspection and get your written estimate.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia stainless steel flexible liners (smooth-wall and corrugated): The corrugated 316Ti alloy liners hold up well, but we regularly find tears at the connector band where the flex section meets the rigid collar at the appliance outlet. That joint flexes every heating cycle, and after enough years the metal fatigues at the corrugation peaks. We replace the damaged section with a properly sized rigid-to-flex adapter and re-band the connection, or swap the full liner when the tears run more than a foot.
• Olympia rigid stainless flue sections, uninsulated installs: Stamford’s damp winters and rapid fall temperature swings push condensation through uninsulated rigid liner walls into the surrounding masonry. What looks like a liner failure on the inside is often creosote-laden condensate corroding the brick from behind. We install an insulation wrap around the replacement liner and repoint the affected masonry so the fix isn’t a repeat in five years.
• Olympia terra cotta flue tiles in pre-1990 Stamford chimneys: Most older Stamford homes with “Olympia” stamped tiles didn’t get them because a liner was chosen; they got whatever the mason had on the truck. We see spalling, cracked tile sections, and gaps that the camera shows plainly. The fix is usually a stainless liner dropped through the existing flue with a poured or blanket insulation seal, not a full teardown.
• Smoke chamber and transition failure above the firebox: On open-fireplace installs, the weakest point is almost never the liner itself. It’s the transition from the firebox into the smoke chamber, where the stainless meets masonry and the gap was never parged or sealed properly. Smoke gets into wall cavities and basement ceilings. We open the transition, parge the smoke chamber smooth, and seat the new liner base into a formed seal so the draft pulls clean.
• Olympia chimney caps and chase covers with failed mounting bosses: Galvanized mounting ears rust through in salt-air neighborhoods near the Sound, leaving the cap rocking loose in wind. The head-scratcher is that the liner below looks fine, but the loose cap lets rain run straight down the flue wall. We replace the cap with a 304 stainless unit and reseal the crown at the same visit.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   You call (914) 537-8463. A live person answers. We ask for your address, chimney location (exterior wall, interior chase, fireplace or furnace flue), and roughly when you noticed the issue.
2. 2
   Camera-scan inspection (NFPA 211 Level 2). Corrine Halstead or a named tech runs the camera down the flue and records footage. You see the screen with us if you’re home. We’re looking at liner condition, joint integrity, crown status, and creosote class.
3. 3
   Written price before anything else. You get a written scope, a parts list (Olympia OEM or specified aftermarket from our network, with the brand and gauge stated), and a written warranty. If you have a competitor’s quote, bring it. We’ll give it a second look, free.
4. 4
   The work itself. We remove the old liner, prep the flue, install the new liner with proper insulation and termination, rebuild any masonry that needs rebuilding, and seal the crown. We protect furnishing and run a dust-control setup inside.
5. 5
   Camera re-scan and documented record. After install, the camera goes back down. You get photos and footage showing the finished liner from top to bottom, plus the written record. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job. That’s been our practice since 2009.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If the liner, cap, or rebuild isn’t right within a year, we make it right. Stamped on the paperwork.

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

For one thing, we don’t guess. Where most sweeps still do the flashlight-and-look inspection and hand you a number, we run the camera and show you the footage. That’s been our default since 2009, not because a code required it but because Corrine kept seeing customers charged for liner work that wasn’t needed. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we. We also keep multi-brand stock on hand from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco alongside Olympia. If your chimney doesn’t need an Olympia-brand liner at all, we’ll say so and write it up that way. Every job is done by background-checked, uniformed techs, every price is written before work starts, and every completed job carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise. You get the footage. You get the written warranty. You get to decide with the evidence in front of you.
