This page is for homeowners who have an Olympia Chimney product, know it, and want a sweep company that treats the brand as more than a generic flue. We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not an authorized dealer or factory outlet. That independence matters: we recommend what the camera shows, not what a manufacturer’s warranty department wants to hear.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds stainless steel liners, caps, and chase covers that hold up well in most climates. New York City is not most climates. We see the same failure patterns repeat across the boroughs, and each one shows up in what we remove during a sweep.

• Olympia stainless liners in attached brownstones and pre-war co-ops collect creosote faster than freestanding chimneys because surrounding masonry stays cold. Cold flue walls cause smoke to condense before it exits. We see Class II creosote form in a single burning season in neighborhoods like Park Slope, Upper Manhattan, and Riverdale. We remove it with rotary whips and hand brushes sized to the liner’s exact diameter, never stiff steel that would score the alloy.
• Chase covers on single-family homes in Queens and Staten Island are Olympia’s most common premature failure. The factory cover works until hurricane-season driving rain finds the seam. We regularly pull covers with rust-through at the screw line and water staining on the firestop below. We replace with Olympia-spec covers or quality equivalents from our supplier network, and we photograph the old cover before it leaves the property.
• Olympia anchor plates and top plates loosen as rooftop temperature swings flex the chase. A loose top plate lets rain track down the outside of the liner and pool at the smoke shelf. We find this on flat-roof installs in Brooklyn and Manhattan where roofers walk past the chimney weekly. We re-set, re-caulk with high-temp silicone, and torque the hardware to spec.
• Interior Olympia liners installed in formerly unlined masonry flues often lack proper insulation wrap. Without it, the liner runs cold, creosote builds as hard glaze, and the clay flue behind the liner keeps shedding mortar dust. We document the condition on every sweep and flag missing insulation so the fix happens before the liner corrodes from condensate on the outside wall.
• Olympia rain caps with smaller mesh clog faster than open-mesh aftermarket caps in New York City. Soot, city grit, and nesting material from pigeons and starlings reduce draft until the fireplace smokes back into the room. We clean the mesh, check the hinge, and tell you plainly whether the cap is worth keeping or whether a wider-mesh replacement will breathe better.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Process

Here’s how an Olympia Chimney sweep works when you call Emberly Chimney Cleaners in New York City. No surprises, no upsell after the fact.

1. 1
   You call (980) 580-8641. A live person answers. We ask about your Olympia system: liner type, chase or masonry, how often you burn, and what you’re seeing.
2. 2
   We book the visit. You get a named tech, a license number on the work order, and a text when the crew is on the way. That’s Haven Standard, Arrive on Schedule, and Verified Crews.
3. 3
   We inspect before we touch anything. Camera down the flue, photos at the firebox, the smoke chamber, the crown, the cap. NFPA 211 Level 2. Corrine Halstead has made this camera-first practice the company default since 2009. You see the footage before anyone puts a brush in the flue.
4. 4
   We put the price in writing. The scope, the price, the warranty. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: Have it in writing. No exceptions. If the sweep is straightforward, you approve and we start.
5. 5
   We sweep for the actual condition. Creosote class, soot load, liner diameter, and accessibility determine the method. We protect your floors, run HEPA filtration, and brush to the liner material spec.
6. 6
   You get the photo record. Before, during, and after. Written warranty. Date-stamped documentation. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, running continuously since 2009. If anything isn’t done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right.

Why New York City Homeowners Call Emberly Chimney Cleaners for Olympia Chimney Work

New York City has a lot of chimney companies. What separates us on an Olympia Chimney job is this: we show you what we found, put the price in writing, and stand behind the work for a year.

The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the sweep isn’t done right, we make it right. No argument. No fine print. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and every work order carries the tech’s license number. When Olympia parts aren’t the right call for the job, we source from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco through our supplier network to keep prices honest. You don’t need an Olympia-branded part if a quality equivalent fits better and costs less. We’ll tell you which one that is and why.
