This page is for Fort Worth homeowners who have Olympia Chimney equipment and want a sweep done right. We’ll cover what goes wrong with these systems, what a proper sweep involves, what it costs, and why we photograph everything before you pay a dime.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid venting components, but every brand has its patterns. After two decades of looking inside flues across Fort Worth, from older Arlington Heights bungalows to newer Fairmount restorations, here’s what we actually find on Olympia systems.

• Stage 2 creosote on Olympia stainless liners. Olympia’s rigid stainless liners hold up well structurally, but their smooth interior surface doesn’t stop creosote accumulation. We regularly see glazed, tar-like Stage 2 creosote in Olympia flues that vent wood-burning fireplaces, especially in homes where last winter’s fires burned lower and cooler than they should have. The fix is a mechanical sweep with rotary rods, not just a brush, followed by a camera check to confirm the liner surface is clean without scratching.
• Improperly seated Olympia rain caps after storm season. Fort Worth gets real wind, and Olympia rain caps with their twist-lock connection can loosen over time. A loose cap lets water drip down onto the smoke shelf, which turns dry creosote into a sticky mess and accelerates rust on the cap itself. During a sweep we remove the cap, inspect the connection point, and reseat or replace it depending on what the photos show.
• Draft issues on Olympia direct-vent gas systems. Olympia’s direct-vent gas pipe is efficient, but Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soil shifts with drought and rain cycles, and we’ve seen vent runs that were installed a touch off-level settle further over time. The symptom is a lazy flame or a fireplace that shuts off mid-burn. A sweep isn’t the whole fix here, but it’s when we find it: we’ll clear any debris, check the vent run for proper slope with a level, and tell you honestly whether it needs adjustment or just monitoring.
• Olympia chase top flashing letting water in. On prefab Olympia chimney systems, the chase top is the flat metal cap over the wood-framed chase. Fort Worth’s freeze-thaw cycle stresses the sealant, and once water gets in, you’ll smell musty air around the fireplace even when it’s not in use. We inspect the chase top on every sweep, document any sealant failure with photos, and recommend repair before the framing behind it rots.
• Aftermarket parts mismatched to Olympia specs. We’ve opened up more than one Olympia system where a previous contractor used a generic cap or connector that didn’t match Olympia’s dimensions. The result is usually a weak draft or a whistle. On Olympia jobs we check every component against Olympia’s published specs and use OEM or dimensionally identical aftermarket parts, never whatever happens to be on the truck.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Process

Here’s what happens when you book an Olympia Chimney sweep with Hadley Chimney Fort Worth, step by step.

1. 1
   You call (682) 900-6393. A live person answers, asks about your Olympia system and its history, and books a window you can track, not a four-hour guess.
2. 2
   We arrive and do a visual once-over. Your uniformed tech checks the firebox, damper, and exterior before anything else, so we know what we’re working with.
3. 3
   We run the sweep with rotary rods sized to your flue. For Olympia stainless liners, we use poly or softer rods to avoid scoring the interior. Brushes alone don’t remove Stage 2 creosote.
4. 4
   We camera the entire flue. You’ll see before and after photos of the flue interior, the smoke shelf, and the cap. Not a verbal summary, actual images.
5. 5
   We review findings and give you a written price for anything beyond the sweep. If we find a crack, a bad cap, or water intrusion, you get photos and a dollar figure before we touch it.
6. 6
   You pay from a digital invoice. Every Olympia sweat includes photo documentation of what we did and what the flue looked like when we finished, all tied to your invoice.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Costs in Fort Worth

Here’s what we charge for common Olympia Chimney scenarios in Fort Worth. These are real ranges, not estimates pulled from a national chart.

• Standard Level 1 sweep, single flue: $189 to $229. Includes full flue brushing, firebox cleaning, cap inspection, and before-and-after photos.
• Level 1 sweep with heavy Stage 2 creosote removal: $249 to $329. Takes extra rotary passes and chemical treatment. We’ll tell you if this applies before we start.
• Sweep plus Level 2 camera inspection: $289 to $379. The right choice if you’ve had water issues, a chimney fire, or haven’t swept in years.
• Sweep plus Olympia rain cap replacement: Add $85 to $160 depending on cap size and condition. We’ll show you the corrosion before we recommend it.
• Sweep plus chase top reseal: Add $150 to $250 for sealant and labor. Cheaper than the framing repair that follows if water keeps getting in.

What moves the price: flue height, creosote stage, whether the cap or damper needs attention, and roof access difficulty. Every job gets a written price before we start, so there’s no surprise at the door. Call (682) 900-6393 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
