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 316Ti stainless steel liners: weld-seam separation at the tee body. The 316Ti series uses a titanium-stabilized alloy that resists acid corrosion well, but the tee-body welds can crack after repeated thermal cycling in Denton’s freeze-thaw winters. We find this most often in homes near Lewisville Lake where the humidity swing is sharper. Our fix: camera confirmation of the crack location, then a custom-fabricated replacement tee from Olympia or a DuraFlex equivalent if the original is backordered. We pressure-test the joint before we leave.
- Olympia galvanized chase covers: rust-through at the drip edge. Galvanized steel chase covers ship with a factory coating that degrades faster than the 304 stainless upgrade most homeowners don’t know exists. By year six or seven in Denton’s sun, the drip edge rusts through and stains the brick below. We document the rust pattern with photos, quote a replacement in galvanized or stainless, and sweep the flue while the cap is off. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires that photo record.
- Olympia flexible liner kits: excessive sag in tall flues. The standard Olympia kit includes a 25-foot flexible liner that works fine in a two-story ranch, but Denton has plenty of 1920s Craftsman homes with 35-foot masonry chimneys near the historic Square. Sagging creates a creosote trap at the low point. We measure the actual flue length with a weighted tape, then spec an Olympia extension section or switch to a DuraFlex Pro with better rigidity. The camera doesn’t guess - and neither do I.
- Olympia top-mount dampers: cable fraying from creosote accumulation. The cable-and-spring damper assembly sits inside the flue throat where Class II and III creosote builds up. The cable frays, the damper jams half-open, and the homeowner gets smoke rollout on the first cold snap. We remove the damper assembly during sweep, inspect the cable under magnification, and replace it with an OEM Olympia part or a Gelco equivalent if the throat geometry allows.
- Olympia storm collars: seal failure at the masonry interface. The storm collar is supposed to shed water away from the flue penetration, but the high-temp sealant Olympia specifies cures brittle in Texas heat. We see this on south-facing chimneys in Denton’s Oakmont and Southridge neighborhoods. We strip the old sealant, reseal with HeatShield’s refractory-grade compound, and document the repair with before-and-after photos.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Process

- 1
Booking and scope lock. You call (940) 373-6912. We ask the model if you know it, the install year, and what you’re seeing. We quote a price range before we schedule. Written confirmation follows by text.
- 2
Arrival and setup. Your assigned tech texts when they’re en route. They arrive in uniform, lay protection from the door to the hearth, and set up the camera rig and HEPA vacuum.
- 3
Level 2 camera inspection. We run the camera the full flue length, per NFPA 211. For Olympia liners, we pay particular attention to weld seams, tee-body integrity, and liner-wall deformation. You watch the feed in real time.
- 4
Sweep and mechanical cleaning. We match the brush to the liner: poly for light soot, flat-wire for glazed creosote. If the liner is a 316Ti with known weld issues, we reduce RPM to avoid vibration stress at the joints.
- 5
Parts decision and documentation. Anything needed - damper cable, storm collar sealant, tee replacement - is quoted in writing before installation. We stock common Olympia, DuraFlex, and HeatShield parts on our truck. If we don’t have it, we order through Haven’s network and schedule the return.
- 6
Final test and record delivery. We run a smoke-pencil draft test, verify damper operation, and clean up. You get a written scope, written warranty, and a link to your photo archive. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies automatically.

Why Denton Homeowners Call Emberly Chimney Cleaners Denton for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve cleaned and inspected chimneys throughout Denton, including a stretch of older wood-burning fireplaces near the historic Denton Square where creosote buildup runs heavier than most homeowners expect. Corrine Halstead and our crew know the difference between an Olympia 316Ti weld and a DuraFlex seam by camera view alone.
Every job carries the Haven Standard: written price before work starts (Clause 1), background-checked uniformed techs who text when they’re on the way, and a documented photo record on every visit (Clause 4). The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we make it right. Materials come from Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield through Haven’s buying network - no single-source lock-in, no markup games.

FAQs
No. Routine cleaning by a qualified professional does not void Olympia Chimney’s limited lifetime warranty on 316Ti stainless liners. The warranty does require that the liner be installed to manufacturer spec and not modified with unapproved fittings. We document our work with photos to protect your warranty record. If you have warranty paperwork, bring it to the appointment and we’ll note the serial number in your file.
Common Olympia Chimney parts - tee bodies, storm collars, top-mount dampers - ship to our Denton warehouse in three to five business days through Haven’s network. We stock DuraFlex and Gelco equivalents on our trucks for same-day repair if the geometry matches and you approve the substitution in writing. Call (940) 373-6912 to check current availability for your specific model.
Repair is viable when the damage is localized: a cracked tee, a frayed damper cable, surface corrosion on a galvanized cap. Replacement makes sense when the liner shows multiple weld failures, wall thinning below 24 gauge, or deformation from a chimney fire. We make that call with camera evidence you can see, not a sales pitch. Sometimes the honest answer is “sweep it and watch it for a season.”
NFPA 211 recommends annual inspection; sweeping frequency depends on use. A Denton homeowner burning oak or mesquite two to three evenings per week typically needs a sweep every cord of wood, or roughly once per season. The limestone-heavy water in Denton doesn’t affect the flue directly, but the humidity swings can accelerate exterior corrosion on galvanized components - another reason we inspect the cap and chase cover every visit.
Class I creosote becomes Class II glaze, then Class III tar. Class III restricts the flue diameter, reduces draft, and can ignite at temperatures above 1,000°F. Olympia’s 316Ti stainless resists acid corrosion but not chimney fire deformation. A skipped sweep turns a $189 maintenance visit into a $3,000+ liner replacement. Call (940) 373-6912 for a free estimate - we’ll show you exactly what your flue looks like now.
