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.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney gas inserts (ODI series): The pilot assembly on early ODI units tends to soot up faster than comparable HeatShield or DuraFlex systems, especially in Camden’s older row homes where basement humidity runs high year-round. We pull the burner, clean the orifice with calibrated pressure, and replace the pilot thermopile if voltage reads below 325 mV - not guesswork, metered proof.
- Olympia Chimney wood-burning fireplaces (OWF series): Refractory panels in the OWF line crack in predictable patterns after 8-12 seasons of thermal cycling. Camden’s freeze-thaw cycles accelerate this. We measure panel thickness to the sixteenth, source matching refractory from our Haven buying network, and install to factory clearance specs - documented with before-and-after photos under Clause 4.
- Olympia Chimney dampers (OD series, top-mount and throat): The OD top-mount damper’s stainless cable frays where it exits the chimney cap, usually at the 7-9 year mark. We find this on camera during Level 2 inspection. Replacement with a Gelco or Famco equivalent often outlasts OEM at half the parts cost, and we note the swap in your written record for future owners.
- Olympia Chimney firebox refractory (universal fit kits): Their universal refractory kits ship slightly undersized for pre-1950 Camden masonry openings, common in Cooper Street and Cramer Hill neighborhoods. We field-cut and shim to full contact, never caulk-and-hope, because gaps behind refractory trap moisture and spall the surrounding brick.
- Olympia Chimney flex liners (OFL series): OFL corrugated liners in exterior chimneys collect condensate at the low bend where Camden’s prevailing northwest wind drives rain down the flue. We inspect with a camera, measure the condensate trap depth, and if the liner’s intact, reroute drainage and seal the crown - replace only when the camera shows wall thinning below 0.012 inch.
Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers. We ask the model series if you know it, the symptom, and your neighborhood in Camden - Cooper Street, Cramer Hill, or elsewhere - so we route the right tech with the right parts.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection on arrival. Camera down the flue, photo record started. We check draft, gas pressure, or refractory condition depending on fuel type. Corrine Halstead trained our Camden crew to write findings before quoting anything: condition, measurement, recommended fix.
- 3
Parts decision with you. OEM Olympia Chimney parts when warranty or exact fit matters; quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco when they outperform or outlast at better value. We explain the trade-off and put it in writing.
- 4
Repair with documentation. The work happens. Photos at each stage. Written scope matches what we priced - no drift, no surprises.
- 5
Test and sign-off. Gas units: combustion analysis and spillage test. Wood units: draft and smoke chamber inspection. You get the photo record, the written warranty, and the final invoice.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Stamped on every job under the Haven Standard.

Why Camden Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Camden for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, every one with a written price first and a documented record after. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we’re not bound to push OEM parts when a HeatShield liner or Gelco damper serves you better - and we tell you straight which is which. Our Camden techs know the local housing stock: the tight flues in Fairview row homes, the oversized fireplaces in Whitman Park doubles, the moisture problems that come with Camden’s river-humid summers. Background-checked, uniformed, with a text when we’re en route. The camera shows it. The report names it. The price is written before we ask for anything.
FAQs
No - manufacturer warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship, not who services the unit. We document our work with photos and written scope, which actually protects your warranty position if a defect claim arises. Keep your records. Call (856) 741-9572 if you need documentation for a warranty submission.
Common OEM parts arrive in 3-5 business days through our Haven buying network; quality aftermarket parts from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco often ship faster. We stock high-failure items - ODI thermopiles, OD damper cables - for same-visit completion when possible. Call (856) 741-9572 and we’ll check availability for your specific model before booking.
Replace when repair costs exceed 60% of a new comparable unit, or when the firebox or flue liner shows structural failure we can document on camera. Most Olympia Chimney gas insert repairs we do in Camden fall well below that threshold. We show you the camera footage, name the price for each option, and let you decide - no pressure. Call (856) 741-9572 for a free estimate with both numbers.
Gas fireplaces: annual inspection, cleaning every 2-3 years unless sooting appears. Wood-burning units: sweep annually if used regularly, inspection every burning season. Camden’s dense neighborhoods and older masonry mean we often find exterior deterioration that accelerates interior wear - another reason we camera-scan every visit under Haven Standard Clause 4. Call (856) 741-9572 to schedule before burning season.
Gas units risk delayed ignition, carbon monoxide spillage, or failed safety shutoffs. Wood units accumulate creosote, which ignites at 451°F and burns at 2,000°F - hot enough to crack a flue liner and send flames into wall cavities. Neither risk is theoretical; we find both in Camden homes every season. The inspection finds it before it finds you. Call (856) 741-9572 for a free estimate.
