This page is for homeowners in Easton, Palmer Township, Wilson Borough, and the surrounding zip codes who have an Olympia Chimney liner or masonry system that needs honest assessment and repair. If you’ve been told you need a full rebuild but weren’t shown photo evidence, we should talk.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liner crevice corrosion in Easton’s wet freeze-thaw cycles. The 316Ti alloy handles normal condensation well, but Easton’s winter temperature swings, especially in the older homes near the Bushkill Creek floodplain, push moisture into the flex joints where crevice corrosion starts from the inside out. We pull the old liner, inspect the full run with a camera, and replace with either OEM Olympia 316Ti or upgrade to a DuraFlex Pro when the flue run has multiple offsets that trap more condensate.
• Olympia rigid 304 stainless tee-section weld failure after 15-20 years. The tee that connects your appliance to the vertical flue takes the most thermal shock. We’ve found the Olympia rigid tee welds, particularly on installations from the early 2000s, can crack at the collar seam. We don’t patch these. We source a replacement tee, match the gauge and diameter exactly, and re-weld on-site if the offset demands it. A patched tee is a callback waiting to happen.
• Olympia Heat-Fab Saf-T Liner ceramic blanket compression in long vertical runs. The Saf-T system’s insulation blanket settles in chimneys over 25 feet, creating a cold spot at the top third where creosote builds fast. In Easton’s taller colonials along College Hill, we see this regularly. We remove the compressed blanket, verify the liner wall thickness with a caliper, and re-insulate with fresh HeatShield Cerfractory foam or replace the full assembly if wall loss exceeds 15 percent.
• Olympia masonry rebuild: spalled brick from calcium chloride de-icing salt wicking. Easton homeowners who park close to the chimney or use salt-heavy ice melt near the foundation see this. Salt vapor migrates through porous brick, accelerates freeze-thaw spalling, and destroys the wythe (the inner wall that contains your flue gases). We rebuild with matching brick from local Lehigh Valley suppliers, install a proper through-wall flashing, and never seal the brick with film-forming coatings that trap moisture.
• Olympia chimney crown micro-cracking from thermal cycling on south-facing exposures. The Olympia cast-in-place crown, especially the standard 2-inch pour, develops hairline cracks faster on south faces that see 40-degree temperature swings in a March afternoon. Water enters, freezes, lifts the crown from the brick. We remove the compromised crown, pour a new 4-inch minimum thickness with integral drip edge and control joints, or install a Gelco pre-formed concrete crown when the brick beneath is still sound.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks our calendar, and books your Level-2 inspection. We don’t do “sometime next week” vagueness. You’ll get a two-hour window.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection on arrival. Our technician runs a chimney-scan camera from firebox to cap, records the full video, and stops at every joint, offset, and transition. You watch on the tablet. Russell Haines or one of our senior techs explains what’s actually wrong, what can wait, and what can’t.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM Olympia vs. quality aftermarket. If your Olympia liner is under warranty and the failure is a defect, we use OEM parts to preserve coverage. If the liner is past warranty or the failure is environmental (corrosion, thermal fatigue, masonry damage), we’ll quote DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco equivalents that match or exceed OEM spec. No guesswork. You see the spec sheets.
4. 4
   The repair. Most Olympia liner replacements and partial rebuilds finish in one day. Full rebuilds with scaffold take two to three days. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and clean the work area before leaving. The number on your estimate is the number on your invoice.
5. 5
   Post-repair camera verification and draft test. We re-run the camera to confirm proper liner seating and joint integrity, then perform a smoke-pencil draft test at the firebox. If the flue is clear and the mortar is sound, that’s all the good news you need.
6. 6
   Written guarantee and clean sweep report. You get photos, the video file, a plain-English summary, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to find, no arguing.

Why Easton Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been answering the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we plan to be here when your next liner needs attention. The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan - it’s in writing, with no arguing. If the mortar cracks or the liner settles, we come back.

Our technicians know Olympia Chimney products specifically, not just “stainless liners in general.” We’ve worked on Olympia systems in Easton homes built in the 1890s with added fireplace inserts, and in 1980s splits where the original builder-grade liner is finally giving out. When Olympia parts are back-ordered or discontinued, we have DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco solutions that fit properly and carry their own warranties.
