How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid mid-market fireplaces and venting, but we’ve handled enough of them across Dallas to know where they stress out in Texas clay soil, hard water, and the temperature swings that come with 40-degree January afternoons.

• Olympia B-Vent gas fireplaces: failed thermopile or gas valve in the 6000 series. The 6000 series runs a standing pilot that quits when the thermopile drops below 325 mV. We see this in Dallas homes with hard water scale in the gas line or pilot orifice. We test millivolt output at the valve, clean or replace the pilot assembly, and only replace the valve if the thermopile tests clean and still won’t hold. OEM SIT valves are available, but we’ve had equal longevity with Robertshaw aftermarket units at lower parts cost.
• Olympia wood-burning fireboxes: cracked refractory panels in the FP-25 and FP-36 models. These units ship with 1-inch refractory cement panels that spall and crack after repeated thermal cycling. Dallas homeowners who burn oak from East Texas green or over-fire during our short cold snaps see this faster. We measure panel thickness and crack width per NFPA 211; hairline cracks under 1/16 inch get documented and monitored, but through-cracks or panels under 3/4 inch get replaced with Hargrove or OEM Olympia refractory. We never seal a cracked panel and call it good.
• Olympia chimney liners: corrosion at the flex joint in stainless flex installations. Olympia’s flex liners are 316Ti stainless, but the flex-to-rigid connection point traps condensation in Dallas humidity, especially where the liner passes through an unconditioned attic. We find pinhole corrosion at the male ferrule on 10-year-old installs. Our fix: cut back to sound metal, install a DuraFlex or Olympia OEM rigid section at the transition, and reseal with high-temp silicone rated to 572°F. We photo-document the corrosion depth with the camera before quoting replacement.
• Olympia fireplace inserts: blower motor failure in the 42-I and 36-I wood insert lines. These units use a tangential blower mounted beneath the firebox that ingests dust and dog hair. The motor bearings seize or the squirrel cage cracks from imbalance. We test amp draw against the Olympia spec plate; if the motor pulls high amps or rattles, we quote a replacement. Aftermarket Fasco blowers fit and move comparable CFM, but we keep OEM Olympia blowers in stock for customers who want exact factory match.
• Olympia direct-vent gas units: failed glass door seal and CO risk in the DV-42. The DV-42 uses a woven fiberglass gasket that compresses flat after 5-7 years of heating cycles. Combustion air and exhaust are supposed to be sealed from the room, but a failed gasket can allow exhaust leakage. We test with a calibrated CO analyzer at the glass perimeter; any reading above 0 ppm at the seal means replacement. We use Olympia OEM gaskets or cut-to-fit Rutland high-temp gasket material, then re-test before we leave.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability, and texts you a 2-hour window. You’ll get a photo and name of your assigned tech before they head out.
2. 2
   Camera inspection first. We run a chimney camera per NFPA 211 Level 2 standards before touching tools. For gas units, we also check gas pressure and draft with a manometer. Camera goes in first. Everything else follows.
3. 3
   Written price, written scope. We show you what the camera found, explain the repair options, and hand you a written price and warranty before work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing.
4. 4
   Parts decision with you. If your Olympia unit needs a part, we explain OEM versus quality aftermarket options, show you the price difference, and let you choose. No hidden markup on either path.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We complete the work, run combustion analysis on gas units or a smoke test on wood units, and verify clearances to combustibles.
6. 6
   Documented record and cleanup. You get photos, camera footage, readings, and a written warranty before we leave. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires it, and we’ve done it on every job since 2009.

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

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a healthy share of those were Olympia Chimney units in Dallas, Lake Highlands, and the older neighborhoods off Mockingbird where these fireplaces were spec’d in 2015-2020 builds. Corrine Halstead learned this trade at Apex Technical School in Long Island City before Texas pulled her west, and she built our process around what she’d want if someone were working on her own fireplace: name the finding, name the price, show the photo, then do the work.

Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, with license numbers visible on every page. We source parts through our Haven buying network from Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield, which keeps our prices honest and our options open when Olympia OEM stock runs thin. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job, and our live phone support runs 24/7 if something doesn’t feel right after we leave.
