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.

AfterOlympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Marietta: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney liner and rebuild service in Marietta, with most liner replacements completed in one day and full rebuilds typically scheduled within a week. Every job starts with a camera-scan inspection and a written price before any work begins - no exceptions. If you own an Olympia Chimney liner or are seeing water stains, drafting problems, or crumbling masonry on a chimney that carries one of their systems, we can diagnose it, document it, and fix it with parts sourced through our Haven buying network. Call (470) 288-2763 to book a Level 2 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 homes near Kennesaw Mountain develop accelerated weld-seam corrosion from acidic condensation. The titanium-stabilized alloy resists high heat but not the cold-start condensation cycle common in Marietta’s shoulder seasons when homeowners run fires intermittently. We pull the damaged section, measure with a video borescope, and replace with either OEM 316Ti or a DuraFlex 316L equivalent if the flue geometry allows - both quoted in writing before we start.
- Olympia rigid 304 stainless elbows in pre-2018 installations crack at the male-female joints after repeated thermal cycling. The rigid system was marketed for straight flues but got adapted into offset Marietta chimneys built in the 1960s and 1970s, especially around Whitlock Avenue and the historic district. We remove the rigid run, camera the offset to confirm dimensions, and install a flexible liner rated for that specific offset angle.
- Olympia smooth-wall liners with factory insulation blankets sag when the mesh containment corrodes, typically 12-15 years after install in Marietta’s humidity. The blanket holds moisture against the outer wall. We strip the old system, dry the flue with forced air if needed, and reinstall with a new blanket or switch to a cast-in-place HeatShield liner if the flue is too damaged for another flexible.
- Olympia chimney caps with integrated spark arrestors clog with pine straw from Georgia loblollies, trapping moisture that accelerates crown spalling and liner top corrosion. We see this constantly on homes near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park and in East Cobb. We replace the cap with a Gelco or Famco unit with a larger mesh, reflash the crown, and inspect the top two feet of liner for pitting.
- Olympia transitional adaptors (stove-to-liner) loosen as gaskets harden in Marietta’s summer heat and winter freeze cycles. The gap leaks smoke and CO into the smoke chamber. We remove the adaptor, check the appliance collar for ovality, and install a new OEM gasket or a fabricated Copperfield transition if the original part is discontinued - documented with photos before and after.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks Corrine’s calendar or assigns a named technician, and sends a text when they’re en route.
- 2
Level 2 camera inspection. We run a video borescope the full length of the Olympia flue, record the footage, and note liner gauge, joint condition, creosote class, and masonry integrity. Camera first, quote second, work third - in that order, every time.
- 3
Written price and scope. You get a single-page document with the findings, the recommended fix (OEM Olympia part or quality aftermarket equivalent), the exact price, and the warranty terms. No work starts until you sign.
- 4
Parts procurement. We source Olympia-compatible components through our Haven buying network, which includes DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Copperfield. If an OEM part is back-ordered, we quote an equivalent with the same UL 1777 listing.
- 5
Installation and testing. The liner is pulled or the rebuild completed, joints are smoke-tested, and a final camera run confirms proper seating and clearances.
- 6
Documentation and closeout. You receive the photo record, the signed warranty, and a copy of the Haven Standard Clause 4 archive. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every page.
BeforeAfterWhat Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Marietta
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Olympia flexible liner replacement (single flue, standard height) | $2,800 - $4,200 | Flue length, number of offsets, need for insulation blanket |
| Olympia rigid-to-flexible conversion | $3,400 - $5,100 | Demolition of rigid sections, chimney height, access difficulty |
| Partial chimney rebuild (crown, top 3-5 courses, liner top) | $4,500 - $7,800 | Scaffolding needs, brick matching, extent of water damage |
| Full chimney rebuild with new Olympia-compatible liner | $12,000 - $18,500 | Height, footing condition, hearth extension requirements |
| Olympia liner repair (sectional replacement, gasket, cap) | $680 - $1,900 | Part availability, labor to access the joint |
These are Marietta-specific ranges based on our 2024-2025 jobs, not national estimates. A full chimney on a two-story home near the square costs more than a ranch liner swap in West Cobb. We don’t guess - we camera first, then quote. Bring us any competitor’s written estimate and we’ll give you a free second opinion. Call (470) 288-2763 for your exact price; estimates are free.
Why Marietta Homeowners Call Emberly Chimney Cleaners Marietta for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of our Marietta work involves Olympia Chimney systems installed during the 2010-2018 building boom. Corrine Halstead and our techs know the difference between a 316Ti weld failure and a gasket shrink issue without guessing. When an Olympia part is discontinued or back-ordered, we have DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco equivalents ready through our Haven buying network - same UL listing, honest price. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and Clause 4 of the Haven Standard means you walk away with photos, not promises. We’re independently owned and operated - not a franchise, not authorized by Olympia Chimney - and our license number is on every page we send you.
FAQs
No - but as an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we are not authorized to process OEM warranty claims. Olympia’s warranty covers manufacturing defects, not installation or wear. We document everything we find with photos and video, which you can submit to Olympia directly if a defect is confirmed. For repair work, we quote OEM or quality aftermarket parts with equivalent UL listings; the choice is yours, and it’s in writing before we start. Call (470) 288-2763 if you have a warranty concern - we’ll review it with you.
Most flexible liner replacements are completed in one day, with the crew arriving between 8 and 9 a.m. and finishing by late afternoon. Full rebuilds requiring scaffolding or brick matching typically run 3-5 days. We don’t promise same-day dispatch - we book properly, order parts through our Haven network, and arrive with everything needed. You’ll get a written start date and a text when the tech is en route. Call (470) 288-2763 to check current availability.
We repair when the damage is isolated and accessible - a cracked top section, a loose adaptor, a failed gasket. We replace when the liner shows multiple joint failures, wall thinning below 24 gauge, or corrosion patterns that indicate systemic condensation problems. The camera tells us which; you see the footage before we quote either option. No replacement is recommended without video evidence you can review yourself. Call (470) 288-2763 to schedule the inspection.
A damaged Olympia liner allows combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, to leak into wall cavities or living spaces. It also lets liquid creosote reach masonry, accelerating spalling and hidden fire risk. In Marietta’s climate, freeze-thaw cycles worsen cracks left unsealed. We don’t scare-sell - we show you the camera footage and explain what we see. Some issues can wait a season; others can’t. You’ll know which before we ask for a signature. Call (470) 288-2763 for the inspection.
We stock common Olympia-compatible adaptors, caps, and flex lengths through our Haven buying network. Discontinued or specialty rigid components may require 3-5 day procurement. We never start a job without confirming parts in hand - Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires a written scope and price, which we can’t deliver if we’re guessing on availability. If your job is urgent, we’ll tell you honestly whether an aftermarket equivalent is appropriate. Call (470) 288-2763 and we’ll check stock while you’re on the line.
