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 Repair in Fort Worth: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney repair in Fort Worth for homeowners whose factory-built or masonry systems need mortar repointing, spalling brick repair, waterproofing, or full rebuilds. Most Olympia Chimney jobs we book in Fort Worth are inspected within 48 hours, with a written price delivered before any work starts - no exceptions. Repairs typically run from $340 for localized mortar work to $4,200 for a partial rebuild with new Olympia Chimney components, depending on what the camera shows.
This page is for Olympia Chimney owners in neighborhoods like Fairmount, Ryan Place, and the Cultural District, where older homes with factory-built inserts or masonry surrounds often develop leaks, cracked crowns, or deteriorated flashing that the original installer never returned to address. If you’re staring at a water stain on your ceiling or bricks shedding their faces onto the roof, we can tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix it. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free estimate.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner systems (OL and OLL series) develop separation at the collar joints after 8-12 years in Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soils, which shift subtly and stress the chimney structure. We find gaps that pull the liner out of alignment with the thimble, creating draft problems and creosote traps. Our fix: camera-locate the separation, reseat with an Olympia-compatible expansion joint or replace the affected section with DuraFlex if the original collar is too distorted to seal.
- Olympia Chimney factory-built chimney enclosures (the OB series common in 1990s Fort Worth builds) suffer crown deterioration where the metal chase cover meets the wood framing. Water wicks behind the siding, rots the chase, and the first sign is often a ceiling stain two rooms away from the fireplace. We strip the damaged chase cover, rebuild the crown with proper slope and drip edge, and re-side with moisture-resistant materials - always photographing the framing condition before we close it up.
- Olympia Chimney clay flue liners in masonry chimneys crack vertically when thermal cycling meets Fort Worth’s freeze-thaw swings, which hit harder than most owners expect in January and February. A cracked liner lets combustion gases migrate through the brickwork, accelerating spalling and mortar loss. We repair with HeatShield Cerfractory Foam for hairline cracks under 1/8 inch, or install a stainless Olympia-compatible liner when the damage runs the flue length.
- Olympia Chimney chimney caps (the standard mesh models) corrode at the base weld after 5-7 years of exposure to North Texas hail and UV, not from the top down. The mesh looks fine; the base ring is rusting through where it meets the flue tile. We replace with Gelco or Famco caps in 304 or 316 stainless, sized to the exact flue dimension, and we document the fit with a photo from the roof so you can see the overhang and screen height.
- Olympia Chimney flashing kits on older Fort Worth homes fail at the step-flashing-to-counterflashing joint, especially where previous roofers caulked over the original metal instead of replacing it. The caulk dries, cracks, and channels water directly into the attic. We remove all old sealant, install new copper or painted steel step flashing woven into the shingles, and counterflash into the brick joint with lead or copper - never another layer of caulk.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability in Fort Worth or your nearby area, and books a Level 2 inspection. You’ll get a text when your tech is assigned and another when they’re en route.
- 2
Camera-scan inspection. We run the camera down the flue, photograph the crown, flashing, and exterior brick condition from the roof, and record any liner gaps, spalling, or creosote buildup. This is Clause 4 of the Haven Standard - documented photo record on every job, no exceptions.
- 3
Written price before work. Corrine Halstead reviews the findings, and we deliver a written scope with line-item pricing and warranty terms before any tool touches your chimney. The camera doesn’t lie - and neither does the written estimate.
- 4
Parts decision. For Olympia Chimney components, we source OEM when the part is available and the price is honest; otherwise we specify quality aftermarket from our Haven buying network (DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, Copperfield) that meets or exceeds the original spec. You see both options in writing.
- 5
Repair and test. We complete the repair, run a post-job camera pull to verify liner integrity and draft, and test any factory-built unit per Olympia’s venting requirements. The work area is cleaned to the condition we found it.
- 6
Documentation and guarantee. You receive the photo record, written warranty, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise - if it’s not done right, we make it right, stamped on every job.

FAQs
Original Olympia Chimney warranties on factory-built components typically expired after 10-15 years, and most Fort Worth systems we see are past that window. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use OEM or equivalent parts that restore function without creating liability issues for your homeowner’s policy. If your unit is newer, we’ll review any remaining warranty terms with you before starting work. Call (682) 499-2712 and we’ll check the serial number.
Full replacement is rare for masonry chimneys; we usually recommend it only when the footing has failed or the liner damage exceeds 60% of the flue length. For Olympia Chimney factory-built units, replacement becomes cost-effective when the chase structure is rotted and the insert itself is obsolete - roughly 20% of the OB-series calls we get in Fort Worth. The camera shows the difference, and we’ll tell you plainly when repair is the smarter spend. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free inspection.
Common OL and OLL liner sections, collars, and caps are available through our Haven buying network within 3-5 business days. Discontinued OB-series chase components sometimes require fabrication or aftermarket substitution, which we source from DuraFlex or Famco with equivalent ratings. We never start a job without confirming parts in hand or a firm delivery date. Call (682) 499-2712 to check availability for your model.
NFPA 211 recommends annual inspection for all chimney systems, and we find that Olympia Chimney factory-built units in Fort Worth benefit from a Level 2 camera scan every 12 months after year 10. Clay flue liners in masonry chimneys should be checked annually once you notice any exterior spalling or mortar loss. Catching a cracked liner or crown leak early typically saves $800-$2,000 versus waiting for water damage to spread. Call (682) 499-2712 to schedule.
Untreated liner gaps or crown leaks channel water into your framing and accelerate brick spalling, which turns a $600 repointing job into a $3,500 rebuild in two to three Fort Worth winters. More critically, a compromised flue liner can allow carbon monoxide migration or create a chimney fire risk from accumulated creosote. We don’t scare-sell - we show you the camera footage and let the facts stand. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free estimate and see what you’re dealing with.
