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 older ODI units tends to soot up faster than comparable brands, especially in Huntington’s coastal air where salt moisture accelerates corrosion on the thermopile connections. We clean the pilot orifice with proper sizing tools, not compressed air that can widen the port, and we stock replacement pilot assemblies for same-day resolution when the thermopile voltage drops below 25 millivolts.
- Olympia Chimney wood-burning fireboxes (OWB line): The refractory panels in OWB fireboxes develop hairline cracking after seven to ten years of Huntington’s freeze-thaw cycles, sooner if the homeowner burns unseasoned oak common in Suffolk County. We source factory-matched refractory panels or, when Olympia discontinues a pattern, we fabricate HeatShield refractory replacement panels cut to spec - documented with photos, explained in plain English before we order.
- Olympia Chimney dampers (OD series top-sealing dampers): The cable housing on OD-series top-sealing dampers binds in cold weather because the original grease specification hardens below 20 degrees, a real problem in Huntington’s January nights. We strip and re-lube with high-temperature silicone lubricant rated for flue gases, or replace the cable assembly with a Gelco stainless cable kit that doesn’t have this cold-weather flaw.
- Olympia Chimney venting systems (OVC direct-vent): The OVC coaxial vent termination collects debris from Huntington’s mature oak canopy - we’ve pulled squirrel nests from these terminations in West Hills and Southdown. We inspect with a borescope, clear the obstruction, and check the combustion air intake for negative pressure issues that cause flame rollout. No guesswork: photos of the blockage, photos of the clear vent.
- Olympia Chimney fireplace conversion frames (OCF series): When converting an OCF wood-burning unit to gas, the factory burner orifice sizing often doesn’t account for Long Island’s higher-than-average gas pressure variance. We meter the incoming pressure at the appliance shutoff, recalculate the orifice, and document the manifold pressure reading in our report - done right, and we stand behind it.
Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process
- 1
Call and schedule: A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We ask the model number if you have it, the symptom, and whether the unit is gas, wood, or pellet. We quote a service window, not a vague “sometime Tuesday.”
- 2
Arrival and Level-2 inspection: Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, with an ID badge. We perform a Level-2 camera inspection of the flue and firebox, photographing every surface. You see the images on a tablet while we explain what we’re looking at.
- 3
Diagnosis and parts decision: We identify the failure and check parts availability. For current Olympia Chimney models, we quote OEM parts with their warranty implications. For discontinued units, we propose quality aftermarket alternatives from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco - never builder-grade substitutes - and explain the trade-off plainly.
- 4
Upfront pricing and approval: You get a written estimate with one number. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. No surprises, no add-ons discovered mid-job.
- 5
Repair and testing: We complete most repairs in a single visit. Gas units get combustion analysis. Wood units get a draft test. Every job ends with a function demonstration and a cleanup that leaves no trace we were there.
- 6
Documentation and guarantee: You receive photos, the written verdict, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we make it right.

Why Huntington Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve been answering the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we plan to be in Huntington in thirty more. That changes how you treat a customer. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise - the Keystone Standard - means if it’s not right, we come back, in writing, no arguing. Russell Haines and our technicians know Olympia Chimney products from hands-on work, not a catalog. When Olympia parts are back-ordered or discontinued, we draw on our relationships with DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco to fabricate or source quality alternatives that fit and function correctly. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Most jobs in a single visit. Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict. A square deal: no surprises on the bill.
FAQs
No - independent service does not automatically void an Olympia Chimney warranty, provided the work is performed competently and documented properly. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we maintain detailed records of every part used and every procedure performed, which satisfies warranty documentation requirements if you ever need to file a claim with Olympia directly. We note serial numbers, photograph before-and-after conditions, and provide you copies. If your unit is still under Olympia’s original warranty, we flag this during scheduling so our technician preserves any manufacturer coverage. Call (631) 776-4075 if you’re unsure about your warranty status - we’ll check the serial number with you.
Yes, though availability varies by series and age. For current production lines like the ODI-400 and OVC-600 series, we stock common wear parts and can order OEM components with typical lead times of three to five business days. For discontinued models - the early OWB-200 fireboxes or first-generation OD dampers - we fabricate equivalent solutions using HeatShield refractory materials, Gelco stainless cable systems, or DuraFlex venting components. We never install a part that doesn’t meet the original specification. You’ll see the proposed solution and know the source before we proceed. Call (631) 776-4075 with your model number for a parts availability check.
Replacement becomes necessary when the firebox or heat exchanger is structurally compromised beyond safe repair - cracked castings, rusted-through heat exchangers, or flue liners with gaping separations. Everything else is repairable. We make this distinction with camera evidence you can see, not a sales pitch. In Huntington’s older homes, especially along West Neck Road and in the Southdown estate areas, we’ve saved homeowners thousands by repairing an Olympia Chimney unit that another company declared “totaled.” If the repair is safe and cost-effective, we’ll recommend it plainly. If replacement is truly the wiser path, we’ll explain why and price both options. Call (631) 776-4075 for an inspection - estimates are free.
Most Olympia Chimney service calls in Huntington are scheduled within three to five business days, with emergency heat-loss situations prioritized. We do not promise same-day dispatch - a proper repair takes preparation, and we stock the right parts before we arrive. Our technicians complete most jobs in a single visit because we diagnose accurately over the phone and bring the correct Olympia Chimney or compatible aftermarket components. You’ll get a firm appointment window, not an all-day wait. Call (631) 776-4075 - a live person answers 24 hours a day to schedule.
Deferred maintenance on an Olympia Chimney gas unit leads to soot buildup on the burner ports, degraded pilot reliability, and eventually combustion byproduct leakage - carbon monoxide risk in a sealed home. The ODI series pilot orifice is particularly susceptible to clogging from airborne particulates common near Huntington’s coastal highways. We’ve responded to no-heat calls in January that could have been prevented with a September tune-up. Annual service costs a fraction of an emergency repair, and our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up includes combustion analysis and safety checks. Call (631) 776-4075 to book before burning season.
