Call (774) 310-4281

This page is for Taunton homeowners whose fireplace or heating appliance was originally fitted with an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or connector - and who’ve been told it needs repair, replacement, or rebuilding. If that’s your situation, call us at (774) 310-4281. We’ll send a technician with a camera, show you what we’re seeing, and give you a number that won’t change.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel rigid liners crack at the seam welds. The 304-grade rigid series common in 1990s Taunton colonials near Taunton Green expands and contracts through our freeze-thaw cycles, and after fifteen to twenty years those longitudinal welds open. We cut back to sound metal and splice in a matching gauge section, or switch to a flexible DuraFlex liner if the flue has shifted.
• Olympia Chimney flexible liners collapse at the corrugation crests. Their multi-ply flexible line, especially the earlier 0.006-inch wall versions, fatigues where it bends around offset flues in pre-1950s Taunton homes. The crests thin until they tear, dropping draft and letting condensation into masonry. We pull the damaged length and upsize to a heavier-wall replacement, often Gelco or a current-spec Olympia flexible with proper support spacing.
• Olympia Chimney Pro-Guard terracotta-coated liners spall in coastal moisture. Taunton’s humidity, particularly within a few miles of the Taunton River, penetrates the terracotta layer. It separates from the stainless substrate, flakes into the flue, and creates blockages. We remove the compromised liner and typically recommend a bare stainless or HeatShield resurfacing, depending on the flue’s interior dimensions.
• Olympia Chimney connector pipes corrode at the appliance collar. The male-female joint where Olympia’s black connector meets a wood stove or insert collects acidic condensate. In Taunton, where homeowners burn green or unseasoned oak through shoulder seasons, this happens faster than the manufacturer charts suggest. We replace the connector with a properly sized alternative and adjust the stove’s air supply so the flue gas stays above dew point.
• Olympia Chimney caps and chase covers trap water against rebuilt crowns. Their standard mesh cap sits flat; debris accumulates, water pools, and any recent crown rebuild saturates. We’ve replaced dozens of these in Taunton’s oak-heavy neighborhoods where leaves and acorns are constant. We install a raised, stainless cap with proper drip edge, or a Famco model with built-in overhang.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We ask about your Olympia Chimney product if you know it, the appliance type, and what you’re seeing - odor, draft failure, visible rust, or a failed inspection.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician runs a camera the full flue length. You watch the screen. We document cracks, gaps, creosote buildup, and liner condition. Photos are yours to keep.
3. 3
   Plain-English verdict and parts decision. We tell you whether your Olympia liner is repairable, needs section replacement, or full replacement. If Olympia parts are back-ordered - their rigid couplers sometimes are - we quote equivalent professional-grade alternatives from DuraFlex, Gelco, or HeatShield that meet or exceed OEM spec. You decide. No pressure.
4. 4
   Upfront pricing, then the work. The estimate number is the invoice number. For rebuilds, we set scaffold, remove damaged courses, and rebuild to code with matching brick where possible. For liners, we pull the old, fit the new, and secure it per manufacturer support charts.
5. 5
   Post-repair test and documentation. We run another camera pass, perform a smoke or draft test, and give you photos of the completed work plus written documentation for your insurance or home sale.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything’s not right, we come back. In writing. No arguing.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Taunton

What moves the price: flue height (two-story Taunton colonials run taller), accessibility (steep slate roofs vs. walkable asphalt), whether the flue is straight or offset, and if we find hidden masonry damage once the old liner’s out. We price this before we start. Call (774) 310-4281 for a free estimate - we’ll give you the exact number after we look.

Why Taunton Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been sweeping and repairing chimneys in Taunton since 1984. Russell Haines and our technicians have worked on Olympia Chimney products in the field long enough to know which series fail where, and which parts cross-reference to DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco when OEM stock runs thin.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if the liner settles, the crown cracks, or the draft doesn’t test right, we return. No paperwork fight. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed; most jobs finish in one visit. You get photos you can see, a plain-English verdict, and a square deal: no surprises on the bill. If it’s worth burning wood in, it’s worth knowing the chimney is clear.
