This page is for Newton homeowners with an Olympia Chimney stainless steel or flexible liner system, or a masonry chimney that needs partial or full rebuilding. Maybe you have noticed white efflorescence on the exterior brick, a rust stain at the cleanout, or your sweep flagged a gap between the liner and flue wall. Whatever brought you here, we will tell you exactly what we see and exactly what it costs to fix it right. Call us at (857) 754-5607. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney ProFlex flexible liner series: In Newton’s freeze-thaw climate, the ProFlex’s corrugated walls can trap condensation against the flue tile, especially in shoulder-season burns when the flue never fully heats. We see this most often in the 1980s colonials off Beacon Street where the chimney runs on an exterior wall. Our fix is a full ProFlex removal, flue tile assessment, and replacement with a properly sized rigid or new flexible liner matched to the appliance BTU output, with an insulated wrap where the flue is exposed.
• Olympia Chimney stainless steel rigid liner (316Ti alloy): The 316Ti holds up well to wood smoke, but we have found weld-seam corrosion at the flex-to-rigid transition collar after 12-15 years of heavy use. This is not a manufacturer defect; it is simply where acidic condensate pools. We cut back to sound metal, fabricate a new transition from matching gauge 316Ti or 444 alloy, and pressure-test the joint before the chimney is put back in service.
• Olympia Chimney oval-to-round adapter plates: These adapters are often installed too tight against the smoke chamber, creating a turbulence zone that accelerates creosote buildup and can mask liner movement. During a rebuild, we remove the adapter, reshape the smoke chamber with Chamber-Tech 2000 or a cast-in-place HeatShield sleeve, and reinstall with proper clearance. The result is a straighter path and a liner that stays put.
• Olympia Chimney top plate and storm collar assemblies: The factory storm collar is a simple slip-fit with a bead of sealant. In Newton, where nor’easters drive rain sideways, we have seen that sealant fail in year seven or eight, sending water down the annular space and rotting the liner support. We replace with a Gelco or Copperfield top plate with a integrated drip edge and a two-part mechanical seal, then document the assembly with photos for your file.
• Olympia Chimney masonry chimneys with original parged flues: Many Newton homes built 1900-1940 have Olympia Chimney rebuild quotes that include liner replacement, but the real problem is a deteriorated parging layer that has fallen away in sheets. A liner dropped into that void has no support and will fail early. We parge the flue with a UL-listed refractory mix or install a cast-in-place liner system from HeatShield, then sleeve with Olympia-compatible stainless. Done right, and we stand behind it.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We book a two-hour arrival window and send a confirmation text.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician runs a high-resolution camera the full length of the flue, photographs every joint, every offset, and every defect. You see the images on a tablet before we leave the basement.
3. 3
   Plain-English verdict and estimate. Russell Haines or a senior technician explains what is wrong, what can wait, and what cannot. The estimate is line-itemed: parts, labor, permit if required by Newton building department, and disposal. No aggregate numbers, no mystery.
4. 4
   Parts decision. For Olympia Chimney systems, we source OEM-compatible components or upgrade to DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco where the application demands it. We explain the trade-off in writing: warranty term, alloy specification, and why we recommend one over the other.
5. 5
   The repair. Background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most liner replacements and partial rebuilds in one day. Full chimney rebuilds typically run two to three days, weather permitting. We tarp the work area, run HEPA filtration if dust is a concern, and clean up before we leave.
6. 6
   Test, document, guarantee. Every liner job gets a smoke test or draft test, depending on the appliance. You receive photos, a written report, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it is not right, we come back. No arguing.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Newton

These are real ranges for Olympia Chimney systems we have serviced in Newton over the past three seasons. Your exact quote depends on flue length, access, and what the camera reveals.

What moves the price: flue height above three stories, interior-vs-exterior chimney chase access, the need for scaffolding on steep Newton roofs, and whether the existing liner has shifted and damaged flue tile that must be repaired first. We will show you exactly why your price falls where it does. Call (857) 754-5607 for a free estimate.

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

Newton homeowners have called us for over 42 years because we document what we find, explain it in plain English, and fix it without drama. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is not a slogan; it is in writing, and we have honored it on the rare occasions we needed to. Russell Haines, who learned this trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of two decades in Newton chimneys, puts it this way: “If the chimney is fine, I will tell you. If it is not, I will show you exactly why.”

We are not an Olympia Chimney dealer. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we have no incentive to sell you a full system when a targeted repair will do. We also carry DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, so if an Olympia part is back-ordered or a different alloy suits your burn pattern better, we can source it without delay. A square deal: no surprises on the bill. We will be there when we say.
