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.
Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Denver: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney liner and rebuild service across Denver, from the post-war ranches in Glendale to the rebuilt stacks in Berkeley. Most Olympia Chimney liner jobs run one to two days; full rebuilds typically take three to five days depending on weather and permit timing. Every job starts with a written price before work begins - no exceptions, no surprises after we’re on your roof.
This page is for homeowners who already know they have an Olympia Chimney system and need straight answers on what’s failing, what it’ll cost, and who can fix it without voiding what warranty remains. Call (720) 674-7312 to book a camera inspection or bring us a competitor’s written estimate for a free second opinion.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia 316Ti flexible liners in the OlyFlex series develop circumferential cracking at the flex points after 8-12 years in Denver’s freeze-thaw cycles. The titanium-stabilized alloy resists acid well but work-hardens at the elbows where the flue turns into the smoke chamber. We sleeve the damaged section with a rigid Olympia-compatible 316Ti insert or transition to DuraFlex Pro if the entire run is fatigued.
- Olympia stainless rigid liners in the OlyRigid line pull away from the top plate in homes built during Denver’s 2015-2019 construction surge. The original installer often used a generic top plate with an Olympia-specific collar mismatch; thermal expansion does the rest. We replace with an Olympia OEM top plate or a Famco stainless unit machined to the exact OlyRigid OD, then seal with a high-temp silicone rated to 600°F.
- Olympia HeatShield-compatible smooth-wall liners show slumping at the smoke chamber junction when paired with oversized fireboxes common in Park Hill and Stapleton renovations. The liner was never designed for that heat load. We install a properly sized Olympia liner or spec a HeatShield Cerfractory Foam partial rebuild if the existing flue is structurally sound but oversized.
- Olympia pellet vent liners (OlyPellet series) corrode at the cleanout tee when owners burn corn or lower-grade pellets with higher chloride content - a real issue in Denver since the 2022 pellet supply crunch pushed homeowners toward cheaper fuel. We replace the tee and transition section with Gelco pellet-rated components, which handle the chloride load better than the original Olympia spec.
- Olympia chimney caps in the OlyGuard line warp at the lid hinge after repeated thermal shock, letting water track down the flue and spall the liner from the outside in. We see this constantly in Denver’s south-facing exposures where daily temperature swings hit 40°F. We replace with an Olympia cap if the homeowner wants brand consistency, or a Gelco stainless unit with a lifetime warranty if they want out of the replacement cycle.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

- 1
Camera inspection and documentation. We run a 360° camera the full length of the Olympia flue, record the footage, and stamp it with date and address. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job - we’ve done it since 2009.
- 2
Written scope and price. Corrine or a senior tech reviews the footage with you, names the failure, names the fix, and delivers a written price before anyone picks up a tool. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. We stock Olympia Chimney components through Haven’s buying network, but we’ll spec DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco if the application calls for it. We tell you which we’re using and why.
- 4
Repair or rebuild. Liner jobs get pulled and replaced with proper clearances to combustibles per NFPA 211. Rebuilds get staged with a debris chute, new brick matched to Denver’s common buff or red clay units, and a poured crown with expansion joint.
- 5
Post-repair camera verification and draft test. We camera the new liner, run a smoke or digital draft test depending on appliance type, and add the documentation to your record.
- 6
Cleanup, written warranty, and 365-Day Done Right Promise. You get the photos, the scope, the warranty, and our stamped promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.

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

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of our liner and rebuild work in Denver involves Olympia Chimney systems installed during the 2010s building boom. Corrine Halstead trained on combustion venting and liner systems at Apex Technical School in Manhattan, and she brought the habit of documenting everything to Colorado - the practice that became Clause 4 of the Haven Standard.
Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and named before they arrive; you get a text when they’re on the way. We source Olympia, DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco through Haven’s buying network to keep customer prices honest, not to push one brand. And if another company already gave you a written estimate for Olympia Chimney work, bring it in - we’ll give you a free second opinion, no obligation.
The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
FAQs
No - but with limits. Olympia Chimney’s warranty covers manufacturing defects, not installation or service by independent providers. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use OEM or compatible parts and document our work so any legitimate defect claim stays clean. If the liner failed because of a manufacturing issue, our photo record actually helps you prove it. Call (720) 674-7312 if you’re unsure what’s covered.
Most flexible or rigid liner replacements finish in one to two days. Full rebuilds run three to five days, longer if Denver’s spring snow or fall freeze delays mortar curing. We don’t promise same-day completion because the work is weather-dependent and permit-bound, but we do promise a written schedule before we start. Call (720) 674-7312 for current lead times.
Repair makes sense when the damage is localized - a cracked flex section, a corroded tee, a pulled top plate. Replace when you see multiple failure points, the liner is past 15 years, or the original sizing was wrong for your appliance. We make the call based on camera evidence you can see yourself, not a sales pitch. Call (720) 674-7312 and we’ll show you the footage.
We stock common Olympia liners, caps, and fittings at our Denver warehouse, and Haven’s buying network gets specialty items within a few business days. If your job can’t wait, we may spec DuraFlex or Gelco equivalents that exceed Olympia’s spec and carry longer warranties. We tell you before we order, not after it arrives. Call (720) 674-7312 to check availability for your model.
Watch for drafting problems (smoke backing up, poor fire draw), water in the firebox, or pieces of tile or metal in the cleanout. But many failures show no symptoms until they’re dangerous - cracked liners can leak carbon monoxide or let creosote ignite in the wall cavity. The only way to know is a camera inspection down the flue. We include this on every visit, and we’ll show you the footage before we say a word about price. Call (720) 674-7312 to schedule.
