This page is for Long Beach homeowners who have Olympia Chimney components, whether it’s an Olympia liner, cap, or chase cover, and need a real inspection from someone who knows how these specific parts age in this climate. No guesswork, no upselling. We put the price in writing before the first tool comes off the truck.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Olympia stainless steel liners: seam separation at the elbow. Olympia’s rigid stainless liners hold up well, but in Long Beach homes we regularly see the seams at the elbow joints start to separate after 12 – 18 years. It’s the thermal cycling, the constant heating and cooling from marine-layer mornings to hot afternoons. The fix is usually a section replacement rather than a full reline. We’ll show you the camera footage before recommending anything.
• Olympia chimney caps: rust at the mounting bracket, not the cap itself. The cap bodies are fine, but the mounting hardware Olympia uses doesn’t love salt air. On Long Beach homes within two miles of the water, we see bracket corrosion well before the cap fails. We replace the hardware with stainless, and the cap goes back on.
• Olympia chase covers: standing water around the lip. Flat chase covers from Olympia collect water if the slope is even a little off. We find this most often on newer builds in Signal Hill and Lakewood Village. Caulk alone won’t hold. We correct the pitch or replace the cover, and we write the guarantee for a full year.
• Olympia flue tiles: spalling from condensation. When an Olympia clay tile liner is paired with a high-efficiency furnace, the exhaust runs cooler, and condensation eats at the tile from the inside. We catch this early with a Level 2 camera inspection, then talk through relining options before it becomes a chimney fire risk.
• Olympia dampers: the hinge pin wears, not the plate. The damper plate is durable. The hinge pin is the weak point. It’s a ten-dollar part, and we keep them on the truck. If the damper won’t seat, that’s usually all it is. We won’t sell you a whole new assembly when a pin fixes it.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Inspection Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. A live person picks up 24/7. You tell us what you’ve got, whether it’s an Olympia liner, cap, or full system. We give you a written price range before we schedule.
2. 2
   We arrive in uniform, on time. Background-checked technicians show up inside the window we gave you. They’ll lay down floor protection before any equipment comes in.
3. 3
   The inspection itself. We run the level you need, Level 1, 2, or 3, with camera inspection where it’s called for. We’re looking at the flue, the crown, the cap, the flashing, the firebox, everything Olympia-made and everything not.
4. 4
   You see what we see. We show you the camera footage and photos. If something’s failing, you’ll see the crack or the corrosion yourself. If it’s fine, we tell you it’s fine.
5. 5
   A written report and a written price. You get the report in hand, and if work is needed, the price is on paper before anything gets touched. No surprises at the end.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the guarantee. We leave the site the way we found it, and any repair we do carries a 365-day written guarantee. If it fails within the year, we come back free.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Inspection Costs in Long Beach

Here’s the ballpark, in plain numbers, so you don’t have to call just to learn the range:

• Level 1 inspection (basic, no issues): $189 – $249
• Level 2 inspection with camera: $289 – $349
• Level 3 inspection (removing components to inspect hidden areas): $500 – $1,200 depending on what has to come apart
• Olympia cap or damper hardware replacement: $120 – $300 including parts and labor
• Olympia stainless liner section repair: $450 – $900 depending on access and run length

What moves the price is access. A two-story Long Beach home with a steep roof pitch costs more than a single-story in Bixby Knolls. Rooftop access, chimney height, and whether we need a lift or can work off ladders all factor in. What doesn’t move the price is pressure. The quote you approve is the quote you pay.
