Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Orlando: What to Know First
As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we handle chimney liner and rebuild jobs for Orlando homeowners with Olympia Chimney systems - most completed in a single visit with upfront pricing that matches the final invoice. Typical turnaround from call to completion is same-day or next-day for standard liner replacements, and three to five days for full chimney rebuilds requiring permits. We’re not the cheapest outfit in town, and we don’t try to be. We’re the ones who document what we found, fix it with the right parts, and put our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
This page is for homeowners in Orlando, Winter Park, College Park, and the surrounding areas who own an Olympia Chimney system and need honest answers about whether their liner can be repaired or needs replacement, and whether their chimney structure needs a partial rebuild or the full treatment. Call (877) 565-7563 any hour - a live person answers.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney stainless steel liners in the 316Ti series develop creosote pinholing near the smoke chamber in Orlando’s humid subtropical climate, where temperature swings from 40°F winter mornings to 80°F afternoons create condensation cycles that accelerate corrosion. We see this most in Baldwin Park and Thornton Park homes built in the 1980s. Our fix: pull the damaged section, inspect the full run with a Level-2 camera, and install a compatible DuraFlex or Gelco replacement liner with proper insulation to control condensation.
- Olympia Chimney flexible liners in the ProFlex line separate at the collar connections after 12 to 18 years of thermal cycling, especially in homes that burn pine and oak mix common around Lake Apopka. The gap is often hidden above the damper. We remove the old flex, reline with a properly sized replacement, and seal the connection with a stainless steel compression band rather than the original clamp-style fitting.
- Olympia Chimney terra cotta flue tiles in pre-1990 installations spall and flake in Orlando’s occasional hard freezes - the 2009 and 2010 winters did significant damage in Maitland and Winter Park. The real cause is moisture trapped behind the tiles that expands when it freezes. We document the damage with photos, then either reline with a stainless insert if the structure is sound, or recommend a partial rebuild if the tile bed has shifted.
- Olympia Chimney HeatSaver refractory panels crack at the seam joints in fireplaces converted to gas inserts, where the reduced flue temperature prevents proper curing of factory sealant. Homeowners smell a faint sulfur odor. We replace the panels with OEM-grade HeatShield refractory mix or factory-original Olympia panels if still available, and verify with a smoke test.
- Olympia Chimney chase covers in the galvanized line rust through at the drip edges within 8 to 10 years in Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms, sending water down the flue that destroys the liner from the outside in. We replace with a Gelco or Famco stainless steel cover, inspect the liner for water damage, and rebuild the top course of brick if the freeze-thaw spalling has begun.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We ask about your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, the symptoms you’ve noticed, and when you’re available. Most appointments are set within 24 hours.

Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and documented. We run a camera the full length of your Olympia Chimney flue, take photos of every defect, and give you a plain-English verdict on the spot. No jargon, no scare tactics.

Parts decision. If your Olympia Chimney liner needs replacement, we explain the trade-offs: OEM Olympia parts when available and appropriate, or professional-grade aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco that meet or exceed OEM spec. You choose. We price both options upfront.

The repair. Most liner replacements and partial rebuilds finish in one visit. Full chimney rebuilds take two to three days, including permit pull with Orange County or the city of Orlando as required. We protect your floors, work clean, and don’t leave until the smoke test passes.

Documentation and guarantee. You get photos of the completed work, a written invoice matching the estimate, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to file, no argument.

Why Orlando Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. of Orlando for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve been working chimneys in Orlando since 2014. Roy Dempsey grew up in College Park learning fireplace maintenance from his grandfather, then spent twenty years in the trade before founding Hearthstone. That background shows in how we handle Olympia Chimney systems: we know which parts fail first in this climate, which aftermarket alternatives hold up, and when a cleaning is enough versus when real work is needed.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we make it right - in writing, no arguing. Technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Most jobs finish in one visit. And when Olympia Chimney OEM parts are back-ordered, we have professional-grade alternatives from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco that we trust enough to put our name on. A clean chimney is not a luxury - it is just the job done right.
FAQs
No - as an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, our repairs do not automatically void manufacturer warranties. We use OEM or equivalent professional-grade parts and document our work, which satisfies warranty requirements in nearly all cases we’ve encountered. If your system is still under original warranty, we note that in our inspection report. Call (877) 565-7563 and we’ll review your specific warranty status.
A properly installed Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner typically lasts 15 to 25 years in Orlando, but we’ve seen ProFlex flexible liners fail at 12 years due to our humidity and thermal cycling. The key variable is maintenance: annual inspection and cleaning add years. If your liner is past 15 years, we recommend a Level-2 inspection to assess remaining life. Estimates are free - call (877) 565-7563.
Spot repairs on Olympia Chimney liners make sense when damage is isolated to less than 10% of the run and the liner is under 12 years old. Beyond that, replacement is usually more economical because patched liners tend to fail adjacent to the repair within two to three years. We show you the camera footage and price both options so you can decide. Call (877) 565-7563 for an exact quote.
We stock common Olympia Chimney liner diameters and connection hardware, and our distributor relationships in Central Florida mean most special orders arrive in 2 to 3 business days. When OEM parts are delayed, we have certified-compatible alternatives from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco that we use with full disclosure. If speed matters, tell us when you call (877) 565-7563.
For suspected liner collapse, carbon monoxide concerns, or visible chimney damage, we typically arrive same day in Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, and College Park. Our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - not a callback queue. Call (877) 565-7563 and we’ll give you a real arrival window.
