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 Cleaning & Sweep in Camden: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cleaning and sweep in Camden, with most Level 1 and Level 2 inspections scheduled within a week and a written price delivered before any work begins. A standard sweep for an Olympia Chimney liner system runs between $225 and $385 depending on creosote class and flue access, and we include a full camera-scan inspection with documented photo record on every visit. This page is for Camden homeowners who installed an Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner, cap, or damper between 2015 and 2023 and need to know whether their sweep can be done warranty-safe, what it actually costs, and whether the condition of the flue matches what they were told at installation. Call (856) 741-9572 for a free estimate.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 316Ti stainless steel liners with premature weld-seam corrosion. The 316Ti alloy resists acid well, but we’ve found the longitudinal weld seams on liners installed 2016-2019 can develop pinhole leaks at the heat-affected zone when paired with certain Appalachian bituminous coals common in South Jersey. We camera-scan the full seam length, document leak points, and quote replacement with a 304L or upgraded 316L seamless section - or full liner if the pattern repeats.
- Olympia Chimney top-mount dampers with seized cast-aluminum frames. The cast-aluminum frames on TM-D series dampers oxidize faster in Camden’s freeze-thaw cycles, especially on row homes with no cricket where water sheets down the uphill side. We free the mechanism where possible, but we don’t quote a repair without showing you the corrosion pattern on camera. Replacement with a stainless steel frame damper or a Gelco equivalent is quoted in writing before installation.
- Olympia Chimney flexible liner collars pulling from terra cotta thimbles. In Cooper Grant and Cramer Hill row homes with 1920s clay flues, the Olympia collar compression fit loosens as the surrounding brick expands and contracts. We find 3-4mm gaps that vent into wall cavities. Our fix: remove the collar, reseat with a proper masonry adapter, and seal with HeatShield Cerfractory foam - not silicone, which voids the liner warranty.
- Class III glazed creosote in Olympia Chimney smooth-wall liners. The smooth interior that drafts so well also lets creosote bake hard when homeowners burn unseasoned oak from South Jersey wood lots. We don’t scrape blind. We run a rotary poly chain first, then assess with the camera, then apply ACS anti-creosote or mechanical removal depending on what the footage shows. The price changes based on what we find, and we show you before we proceed.
- Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps with clogged mesh in marine air. Camden’s proximity to the Delaware and the salt air accelerates corrosion of the 5/8-inch mesh on WD series caps, and the directional hood traps wet leaves from the sycamores on Kaighn Avenue. We remove the cap, document mesh integrity, and quote either a mesh replacement or a full Famco stainless cap with 3/4-inch mesh and a better rain skirt.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability, and notes your Olympia Chimney model if you have it. We ask about fuel type, last sweep date, and any draft or odor issues.
- 2
Arrival and setup. Your tech texts when en route, arrives in uniform, and lays protection from the door to the hearth. License number is visible on request.
- 3
Level 2 camera inspection first. We run the camera the full flue length before touching a brush. For Olympia Chimney liners, we pause at weld seams, collar points, and any offset. You see what we see on the monitor.
- 4
Written price, written scope. Condition, measurement, recommended fix, price - in that order. No work starts until you have the paper. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard.
- 5
Sweep and service. We use brushes and chains matched to your liner diameter and creosote class. For Olympia Chimney systems, we verify cap and damper operation before reassembly.
- 6
Documented record and guarantee. Photos, camera footage, and findings are archived. You get a copy. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies. The camera shows it. The report names it. The price is written before we ask for anything.

Why Camden Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Camden for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve swept chimneys in Camden long enough to know the local patterns - the clay flue tiles that crack diagonally in Fairview, the salt-air corrosion on waterfront caps in Waterfront South, the bituminous coal residue that bakes hard in winter. Corrine Halstead and our crew have handled Olympia Chimney systems since the brand expanded into the Northeast market in the early 2010s. We don’t guess at warranty status; we document condition and quote repair or replacement with parts sourced through our Haven buying network - DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney itself when OEM is the right call. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and every tech is background-checked, uniformed, and named on your appointment. Live phone support runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
FAQs
No - routine chimney cleaning by a qualified professional does not void the Olympia Chimney warranty, provided the work is documented and no modifications are made to the liner system without manufacturer-compatible parts. We photograph pre- and post-condition and note any parts used, so your warranty record stays clean. Call (856) 741-9572 if you need documentation for a warranty claim.
The camera tells us. We find separation at weld seams, collar gaps, or creosote buildup that has begun to obscure the liner wall - each requires a different response. We show you the footage, explain the finding, and quote only what the evidence supports. Some conditions can wait a season; others need attention before the next burn. Call (856) 741-9572 for a free inspection and honest timeline.
We source both. Olympia Chimney OEM collars, caps, and adapters are available through our Haven buying network when the warranty or fit demands it. For caps and dampers, we often recommend Gelco or Famco stainless equivalents that outlast the original in Camden’s climate - and we quote both options in writing so you choose. No hidden substitution.
NFPA 211 recommends annual inspection; sweep frequency depends on use and fuel. In Camden, homeowners burning 2-3 cords of mixed hardwood per season typically need a sweep every year, while occasional gas-log users can stretch to every two years with a Level 2 inspection in between. We check creosote depth with the camera and tell you where you stand - no blanket schedule. Call (856) 741-9572 to book.
Class I creosote becomes Class III glazed creosote, which restricts draft and can ignite. In a stainless liner, the resulting chimney fire can overheat and warp the steel, or in worst cases, breach a weak weld seam and enter the structure. Carbon monoxide risk rises as draft efficiency drops. We don’t scare-sell - we show you what we found and what it costs to fix. Call (856) 741-9572 for a free estimate.
