This page is for homeowners with Olympia Chimney fireplaces, stoves, or chimney liners who want a sweep that actually addresses how these systems age in Georgia humidity. Cory Mitchell and our crew have been running Olympia Chimney jobs in Marietta long enough to know what wears first on these units and what’s just cosmetic. Here’s what you need to know.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney makes solid equipment, but every brand has its patterns. Around Marietta, our techs see the same handful of issues on Olympia systems, and most of them show up during a routine sweep.

• Olympia Ventis double-wall flue pipe and creosote glazing. The Ventis series runs hotter on the inner wall than single-wall pipe, which sounds like a safety win, and mostly is. But in Marietta’s humid winters, moisture condenses on the cooler outer wall and mixes with creosote into a sticky, acidic film that bakes on. Our fix during a sweep is mechanical removal with rotary brushes, not just a flat wire brush pass, because glazed creosote laughs at standard tools.
• Olympia 6500-series fireplaces and gasket compression. The door gaskets on 6500-series models we see in Marietta tend to compress unevenly after four to five years of regular burning. A lazy door gasket lets the fire pull air where it wants, which produces more smoke, more creosote, and a dirtier burn. During a sweep we check gasket compression and will flag it with a photo if it’s shot. A new gasket is cheap; a chimney fire from a runaway burn isn’t.
• Refractory panel hairline cracks on Olympia zero-clearance boxes. We regularly see fine cracks in the refractory panels on older Olympia zero-clearance fireplaces around east Marietta, especially in homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These aren’t usually structural emergencies, but cracked panels let heat reach the metal firebox behind them, and over time that warps the box. During a sweep we note the crack, measure it, and send you a photo. If it’s under an eighth of an inch, you can keep an eye on it. Wider than that, we’ll talk panel replacement before next season.
• Olympia stainless steel liners and pitting from acidic condensate. Marietta’s humidity plus gas fireplace byproducts can create a mild acid condensate that pits lower-grade stainless liners over a decade or more. We see this on Olympia gas direct-vent setups where the homeowner runs the fireplace as primary heat. A sweep can’t reverse pitting, but we can tell you honestly whether the liner has years left or whether you’re looking at a replacement. When replacement is the right call, we also work with DuraFlex liner systems as a quality alternative, and we’ll show you camera footage either way.
• Olympia outside air kits clogged with Georgia red clay dust. This one’s specific to Marietta. The outside air intakes on Olympia fireplaces draw air through a small hood on the exterior wall, and Georgia red clay dust is fine enough to clog those screens in a single summer. A clogged air kit starves the fire and makes it smoke. During a sweep we pull the screen, clean it, and check for wasp nests, which manage to claim those intake hoods every spring.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Process

Here’s exactly what happens when you book an Olympia Chimney chimney sweep with Hadley Chimney Marietta. No mystery windows, no price changes after we’re on the roof.

1. 1
   Book the call. A live person answers 24/7. We’ll ask what kind of fireplace you have, when it was last swept, and what you’re seeing. That tells us which Olympia system we’re likely dealing with before we arrive.
2. 2
   Arrive in a tracked window. You get a live arrival time, not a four-hour guess. Our tech shows up in uniform, background-checked, with drop cloths and a HEPA-filtered vacuum. Cory Mitchell built this crew on the idea that you hired us to not surprise you.
3. 3
   Inspect before we sweep. We’ll check the firebox, damper, smoke shelf, and flue with a camera. If this is a Level 2 inspection, the camera goes up the full liner. You’ll see exactly what we see.
4. 4
   Sweep with the right tool. Standard creosote gets a wire or poly brush. Glazed creosote gets a rotary head. The goal is a clean flue, not a fast one. We also vacuum the firebox and clean the glass on Olympia direct-vent units.
5. 5
   Send you the photo report. “I’ll send you the photo first – then we’ll talk about what it means.” Before and after photos, plus any findings, land on your phone before we write up a recommendation. There’s a written price before any repair work starts, and if we recommend something, you’ll have the photo evidence in hand.
6. 6
   Cleanup and guarantee. We leave the space as close to how we found it as possible, and every repair we do carries a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a repair fails within a year, we come back free.

Why Marietta Homeowners Call Hadley Chimney Marietta for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been at this since 2003, and Cory Mitchell still runs jobs the same way he did when he started taking apart chimneys out west: look first, explain honestly, fix it right. The Relay Visibility Guarantee is the formal name for what we’ve always done: live arrival times, before-and-after photo documentation, and a written price before work begins. No guesswork, no upsell. Every repair gets a written 365-Day Done Right Promise, and if a repair fails within that year, our second visit is free.

We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, which means we’re not beholden to the brand’s upsell path. When an Olympia part is the right call, we use it. When a DuraFlex liner or HeatShield ceramic repair compound is genuinely the better option, we’ll say that too, and we’ll show you why on camera. We also service DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco systems, so we’re not married to one brand’s parts list. Our techs know Olympia Chimney products well enough to tell you what matters and what can wait, and we put that in writing.
