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 Liner & Rebuild in Naperville: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney liner & rebuild service in Naperville, typically scheduling within 3-5 business days and completing most liner replacements in a single day. Every job starts with a written price before any work begins, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. This page is for Naperville homeowners who own an Olympia Chimney product and need straight answers about liner condition, rebuild scope, and what it will actually cost. Call (331) 265-1700 for a free estimate.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia 316Ti flexible liners in homes near the DuPage River corridor - The 316Ti alloy handles most Naperville burn cycles well, but we’ve found premature weld-seam separation in units installed 2015-2019 when paired with exterior masonry chimneys on north-facing walls. The freeze-thaw cycling in those shaded exposures works moisture into the seam gap. We cut back to sound metal and sleeve with a DuraFlex 316Ti replacement, matched to the original diameter so the Olympia termination cap still fits.
- Olympia rigid 304 stainless systems in two-story Colonial-style homes - These show throat-section corrosion where the liner meets the smoke chamber, especially in homes burning seasoned oak from local suppliers. The 304 grade isn’t wrong for the application, but the joint geometry collects acidic condensation. We replace the lower rigid section with a tapered HeatShield Cerfractory foam rebuild of the smoke chamber, then transition back to rigid Olympia-compatible pipe above.
- Olympia smooth-wall relining kits in 1920s Naperville brick chimneys - The smooth-wall design is meant to improve draft, but in the taller, unlined flues common near downtown Naperville, the reduced friction can overspeed flue gases and cool them too quickly before exit. We see liner collapse from thermal shock in January cold snaps. Our fix: a partial rebuild of the upper flue with proper insulation wrap, or switch to a Gelco insulated flexible liner sized for the actual appliance BTU load.
- Olympia top-sealing dampers integrated with factory chase covers - The cast-aluminum damper frames crack at the hinge pin boss after 7-10 years of Naperville’s thermal cycling. Water enters, pools on the liner top, and accelerates crown deterioration below. We replace with a Famco stainless damper assembly, reflash the chase cover, and inspect the full liner length with our camera before closeout.
- Olympia pellet vent liners in newer construction near Route 59 - These 4-inch systems clog with fly ash when homeowners burn lower-grade pellets to save money. The reduced draft overheats the termination and warps the cap. We rod and vacuum the full run, install a Copperfield clean-out tee where accessible, and show the owner the ash volume on camera so they see the cause themselves.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks our Naperville route calendar, and books your NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. You’ll get a text when your tech is en route.
- 2
Camera-scan inspection. We run a full flue video from firebox to cap, measuring liner wall thickness, joint integrity, and clearance to combustibles. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job, and we archive it.
- 3
Written scope and price. Before any tool touches your chimney, you receive a written price, written scope, and written warranty. This is Haven Standard Clause 1. No verbal estimates, no surprises.
- 4
Parts decision. We stock Olympia-compatible components and quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco. If your Olympia part is available and makes sense, we use it. If an aftermarket solution performs better for your specific failure, we explain why and document the choice.
- 5
Repair and test. Liner replacement or rebuild proceeds, followed by a smoke test or draft measurement to confirm safe operation. We photograph the completed work.
- 6
Documentation and closeout. You receive the final photo record, warranty paperwork, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Payment is due only after you’re satisfied.

Why Naperville Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Naperville for Olympia Chimney Work
We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of our Naperville work involves Olympia Chimney products installed during the 2015-2020 new construction boom. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we. Corrine Halstead and our crew know the difference between a 316Ti weld failure and a 304 corrosion pattern, and we document which one we’re looking at before we quote a fix.
Our background-checked, uniformed technicians carry Olympia-compatible inventory and backup options from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, so you’re not waiting on a single-source part. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every liner and rebuild we touch. And if another company already gave you a written estimate, we’ll review it free under our Second Opinion policy.
FAQs
No. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we perform repairs that comply with manufacturer specifications, and warranty coverage on the original product remains intact unless physical damage occurs during service. We document our methods with photos so any future warranty claim has clear evidence of proper handling. Call (331) 265-1700 if you have a specific warranty concern.
We source both. Olympia Chimney parts are available through our Haven buying network when they’re the right choice for your system. We also use DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and other quality aftermarket components when they solve the specific failure pattern better or faster. We tell you which we’re using and why before work starts.
The camera decides. A liner with isolated weld separation or a single corroded section often qualifies for partial repair. A liner with multiple failure points, wall thinning below manufacturer minimum, or displacement from proper alignment needs replacement. We show you the footage and explain the threshold before you commit. Call (331) 265-1700 for a free inspection.
Most single-flue flexible liner replacements in Naperville homes are completed in one working day. Rigid systems or jobs requiring smoke chamber rebuild add a half day. Full chimney rebuilds with new liner installation typically run 3-5 days depending on weather and masonry cure requirements. We give you a firm schedule in writing with your price.
A compromised flue liner allows heat, sparks, and combustion gases into surrounding structure, which is how chimney fires start and how carbon monoxide enters living space. The risk is real and specific, not theoretical. That said, we don’t invent urgency. If our camera shows your liner is deteriorating but still functional, we’ll tell you the timeline and let you decide. Call (331) 265-1700 for an honest assessment.
