How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney gas inserts (ODI series) - pilot failure in damp weather. The ODI line uses a standing pilot assembly that sits low in the firebox, and Staten Island’s salt-heavy coastal air corrodes the thermopile connections faster than inland climates. We see this every February in homes near Great Kills and New Dorp. Our fix: clean the pilot orifice with a proper wire gauge, test millivolt output at the valve, and replace the thermopile with an OEM-spec part - not a generic swap that reads “close enough.”
• Olympia Chimney wood-burning fireplaces (OWB series) - cracked rear firebox panels. The OWB uses a refractory panel system that’s thinner than some competitors, and Staten Island’s freeze-thaw cycles stress the panels where they meet the throat damper. We document the crack pattern with camera photos, replace with factory-matched panels or a HeatShield cerfractory repair when the damage is surface-level, and always verify clearances to combustibles before signing off.
• Olympia Chimney top-sealing dampers - cable seizure after coastal storms. The cable-driven top damper is a smart design until salt air gets inside the conduit. We’ve found cables frozen solid in homes within a mile of the Raritan Bay. We lubricate with high-temp graphite, replace the cable if it’s frayed, and seal the conduit entry point to slow recurrence. A cheap fix, but only if you catch it before the cable snaps and drops the damper plate.
• Olympia Chimney vented gas logs - soot buildup on propane conversions. Olympia’s log sets are factory-tuned for natural gas. When Staten Island homeowners switch to propane without changing the orifice and adjusting air shutter, the flame impinges on the logs and produces soot that stains the surround. We re-orifice to propane spec, set primary air, and verify CO levels with a combustion analyzer - not a guess, not a visual “looks good.”
• Olympia Chimney chimney caps - mesh corrosion in salt air. The standard galvanized mesh on older Olympia caps rusts through in 3-5 years near the water. We upgrade to Gelco stainless or copper mesh, match the cap base to the flue tile or liner, and caulk with high-temp silicone that won’t harden and crack by November.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a window. No app, no callback queue.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician arrives in uniform, runs a camera up the flue and through the firebox, and takes photos of what we find. You see the screen in real time.
3. 3
   Plain-English verdict with options. We explain what’s wrong, what can wait, and what can’t. If the part is available OEM, we’ll say so. If a quality aftermarket from DuraFlex or HeatShield makes more sense, we’ll say that too.
4. 4
   Upfront pricing, then the repair. You approve the number before we start. Most Olympia Chimney fireplace repairs - damper cables, pilot assemblies, firebox panels - finish in one visit.
5. 5
   Post-repair testing. Gas systems get combustion analysis. Wood systems get a draft test. Everything gets photo documentation for your records.
6. 6
   Written guarantee. The 90-Day Done Right Promise goes in your hand before we leave. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork, no arguing.

Why Staten Island Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been answering calls with a live person for over 42 years, and we’ve been working on Staten Island chimneys long enough to know which Tottenville fireboxes were rebuilt after Sandy and which Great Kills caps will need mesh again in four years. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Olympia Chimney’s specific venting geometries - not generic “fireplace guy” knowledge. When an OEM part is backordered, we have DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco alternatives that meet or exceed factory spec, and we’ll tell you exactly which we’re using and why. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, not a handshake. If the chimney’s sound, I’ll say so. If it isn’t, you’ll hear that too.
